Also take a look at apt. APT will be the main way to get packages. You can use apt-setup to select sources and then you can install packages with:

Code:

apt-get install packagename

Check "man apt" for more info and options.

You can use different sources for APT. Internet is one of them. Run apt-setup to see which. You'll need internet to use the internet sources.

To install loose .deb packages do this:

Code:

dpkg -i packagename.deb
