Mark, I hope you have seen that you do not need a bunch of package managers;
you *do* need to get the right *repositories* in your /etc/apt/sources.list
file. (There may be others in /etc/apt/sources.list.d)
1. You can edit that file from Adept.
2. You can add new servers to it.
3. Those servers supply the software that others may not have.
The package installer GUI's are simply front-ends to the system called apt-get
(and various other "low level" apps). If you use Adept it's identical to
using Synaptic. The only difference (oddly) is that you are getting a
different (or extra) list of repository servers when you go and install other
front-ends. I'll admit that seems weird, but I'm no expert.
The best bet is to try and understand the repository system (at least roughly)
and then you will be aiming down the barrel rather than chucking the entire
rifle. :D Go check the Ubuntu website and related links.
