i was wondering, if i remove or completely remove something from synaptic is that uninstalling the program or just deleteing the package, and if it does only remove the package, how do i uninstall things like a older version of wine? this help page says that it is best to uninstall it, lol i'm starting to wonder if a windows --> linux switch was a good idea....i'm so lost.
