/* install software using apt-get */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
You may not know the specific package name for software you wish to install.  Say you want to install vnc client viewer but you don't know the name of a package for it. You would open a console as root or use sudo and type: apt-cache search vncThis would return a list of packages available and that refer to the word vnc.  Maybe not much different than apt-cache pkgnames|grep vnc
