Debian Help
This page is to assist someone familiar with Puppy and starting out using a Puppyfied Debian, such as DebianDog or PussyLinux.
Package management
DebianDog uses Debian repositories and can use package managers apt-get (commandline) and Synaptic (graphical).
Synaptic the graphical package manager can be found at:
PuppyMenu > System > Synaptic
apt-get has many features, this simple example updates the package list and installs rdate:
apt-get update
apt-get install rdate
