hi guys I am new to mepis and need to download new software like games chat clinents and the like.
I have used apt-get but it has never worked for me. I once used xandros I used xandros networks to install lots and lots of deb files. but I dont think Synapic Package manager works for me, there seems to be no extra files to download, when I start up Synaptic I get an error message. I am using Mepis 3.4.3
