The one thing I learned about apt that I had to remember is:

apt-cache search [term]

Don't have to sudo it, works for everyone. Pipe that bad boy into pg
so you can read it and viola, you have a package name to install. Note
the search term is able to be multiple words and is case insensitive,
and if necessary you can use a general search and pipe it into grep.

And I don't remember what Dapper did, but now if I get a new kernel
the headers come with it automatically after I'd installed them. Not
sure about kernel source because I don't have that loaded.
