I'm already using a GUI (under GNOME) to access and install the debian apt
packages.....  So, those likely to be listed at www.debian.org I should
have already found.  A few are still missing, or I haven't hit the correct
package names yet.....  What I'm probably not seeing is third party apt
packages.

But, I have enough to run with for testing at the moment....

Take care.....
