Lastest stable version of firefox

Directly from mozilla, have the repository point directly to firefox (found looking for the ubuntu release of firefox 4).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Aptitude, apt & cie. (Mainly for Debian, but Ubuntu works on the same way)

Ce post tourne autour des commandes apt, aptitude et dpkg

Installer une selection de paquets :

D'un côté :

$ dpkg --get-selections > liste-pkg

De l'autre côté :

# dpkg --set-selections < liste-pkg
# apt-get dselect-upgrade

Ressources non officielles de paquets pour Debian

• apt-get.org


• mentors.debian.net


• backports.org

Paquets installés automatiquement (jeux de dépendance)

$ aptitude why python-notify
