I’m used to using ’slapt-get –search foobar’ in Slackware, and was curious how to do it in debian…
apt-cache search foobar
This is quite useful on our new Blades.

That *is* useful. I usually ended up using the apt package search on debian.org.
Also there is a text-menu based package manager with Debian called aptitude, and I’ve used it some, but it has a tendencies to go and fill dependencies I don’t want it to.
