better way to organize packages?
 
i'm trying to find a way to sort installed packages by size, date installed, etc; can't find a way to do this with kpackage, synaptic, or aptitude. any other ways to do this?

By size: dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -n
Not sure about date and I'm not on a debian box now, you do the googling ;)

Cool, worked on my SimplyMEPIS box. Time to RTFM for dpkg-query.

BTW,
Code:
dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' \
 | sort -n                                                  \
 | awk  '{printf "%8d  %s\n",$1,$2}'                        \
 | less
gave a really nice output
