Thanks all...I knew it should be there but when I searched the add/remove applications I could not see it.

I've been showing some brand new Linux users about Add/Remove (because it looks easy), but even when "all available applications" was chosen for the repositories of it, it still didn't find all applications, while Synaptic Package Manager does find it all.
So I try to tell them stick to Synaptic PM, while I stick to "apt-cache search" and apt-get+dpkg myself.

The Add/Remove-thing (gnome-app-install) isn't really meant to be a full-blown package management tool but instead just easier way to install & remove a selection of the most commonly used applications. There's no way it could be that if it listed all the packages available in repositories and gave all the tools and options Synaptic has.

It really is a great tool for what it's made for. Installing software couldn't possibly be easier and simpler. You just shouldn't think of it as a package manager as it really isn't one.
