There will defiantly never be a dull minute during your Linux journey. There is so much to learn and new ideas and applications are emerging every day. Thank you for flying on Air Linux, please fasten your seat belt and enjoy the ride.
If you know the name of a specific application, you can use Synaptic (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager).
