[orca-list] First forray into commandline installation



Hi folks,
 
Well I tried to update my Ubuntu distribution earlier with command line and I think it worked but how do I know? Also, how can i search for packages to install? I typed in a terminal window:
apt-cache search abiword for example and it told me what abiword was, but how do I find out what the package name is? When I tried apt-get abiword, it did not work told me it was an invalid operation I think.
 
Thank you best wishes
 
James
 
PS - from the little I've played with it I'm really enjoying Linux - although I've not had time to really sit and play with it properly yet or use it for any real tasks just playing at the moment but really enjoying it.
