I am 95% positive that Google's search results depend on what they know about 
you and your search habits, email content, 

Some google search results as data points:

Note: I'm surprised that my results (from google) were the same for the long 
string with and without quotes -- well, I mean the first result was the same -- 
with quotes there were only two results, without quotes there were a lote 
more.

search string

first result

This is quite puzzling, because my experience is quite different.

When I typed "synaptic download where"
into a google search, this 2012 answer was the first result:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/40686/where-do-the-deb-files-go-when-i-select-download-only-in-synaptic-package-man

The search same result was obtained using the exact text above as
the google search string:
"When I check Download packages only in Synaptic which directory is
the destination"

I hardly ever use google as a search engine. I wonder: does google give
me different results because I use gmail on so many linux-related mailing
lists?

I guess to answer that question, I should be asking people who do NOT
use this mailing list what results they see for the same experiment :)

When I check Download packages only in Synaptic which directory is the

Doesn't matter whether you're using synaptic, aptitude, apt-get
or apt:

/var/cache/apt/archives

-dsr-



Many thanks.

I admit that this is probably a silly question, but Google has not been 
a friend.


When I check Download packages only in Synaptic which directory is the 
destination?


Thanks in advance.
