Synaptic is a very good GUI, the only alternatives are ncurses and pure
command line. Aptitude and apt(-get) are good too. What to use depends
to the OP's needs. For Debian based disrtos such as the *buntus, I
wouldn't use anything else, than Synaptic, aptitude or apt(-get), an
sure, dpkg ;). I prefer the DEB package management over the RPM
management, but my favourite is the Arch Linux pacman way.
