Searching for apt-get Packages on Ubuntu Linux

I have had problems installing the correct packages so I needed some way that will show me what packages are available.

shell> apt-cache search <search string>

Update your repository with apt-get update


And use apt-get install <package> to download and install what you need.

Another reason why I like K/Ubuntu Linux.
