If you're used to running Windows, you can think of Synaptic as a sort of super-dooper, turbocharged, steroid-munching version of the "Add / Remove Software" control panel. Except that it would be rude to even think about comparing them since there's a world more sophistication in Synaptic.

Synaptic would be nice if it didn't crash all the time. Seriously, I've upgraded every version for the last several months and it still randomly hangs when installing/upgrading packages. apt-get from the command line works perfectly though so I really don't know what the problem is. I use the "matt" repository for redhat 9. All my other gnome stuff works fine too.
