Re: [Trisquel-users] How search trough software

[marioxcc . MT]

When searching for packages in Synaptic there's the option to search in  
package descriptions, which usually does what you want. There's the same  
functionality in <http://packages.trisquel.info/> (It's linked from the  
navigation bar at the right). When you do this. you're using the information  
contained in Trisquel only, but you can also use information from other  
sources to find a free software program that does what you need, and then  
search the Trisquel package archive for that program. For instance, there's  
the free software directory <http://directory.fsf.org/> and Libregamewiki  
<https://libregamewiki.org/>. You can also search for programs that do what  
you need using any Internet search engine. All of the software listed in the  
above links is free software; but by searching with an Internet search engine  
you may find proprietary software; so you must check the software license  
before installing in order to keep your system fully free.
