Re: [orca-list] Got ubuntu mate up and running on desktop PC - couple of questions

[Paulina Gajoch <paulinagajoch gmail com>]

I think, that you will like Synaptic, because on Unity it was very good. 
But, when you want somethink other, try gnome packages. But I don't 
know, what is the name of the package and how to install it from 
terminal. However you may install it from Ubuntu software. Have you it? 
You don't have to care it, when Synaptic will be good for you.

Best regards,

Paulina
