We look a installing software on Linux Mint.
First we use the Software manager to install Chromium. We talk about using search field and that it is like an internet search meaning sometimes we need to change or refine our search criteria to find exactly what we are looking for.
We install Chromium and talk about how to remove that software if we don't want in on our system anymore.
We then talk about the Advanced Package Tool, and look at using apt-get to install and remove programs
We see how aptitude can be used to add programs and that it is based on the Advanced Package Tool
We also look at Synaptic for installing programs and that that too is a front end of the Advanced Package Tool
We also talk about what a repository is and that different Linux distros will have their own repository's
