====== apt-get settings ======

Quick Usage:

**apt-cache**	to search the local database for available packages.

**apt-cache search [search terms]**     will find packages that sound like what you want and:

  - **apt-cache show [packagename]**      will return more details on a particular package.
  - **apt-cache showpkg [packagename]**   will return more details on a particular package.
  - **apt-cache policy [packagename]**    will return which versions are available along with the priority of each version.

**apt-setup**   will enable you to change mirrors. The alternative is to edit   /etc/apt/sources.list   manually (which I prefer).

**apt-get clean** clears the local repository of all retrieved package files.

**apt-get autoclean** clears the local repository of retrieved package files of programs that are no longer installed.

**dpkg -l [packagename]** will list the version and a short description of the package we have installed.
