Hi, and Happy New Year (almost)! This is something that might be helpful for newbies especially. Was going through some things on my computer and found a NICE list of familiar Linux package names with SUPER BRIEF, SUPER SIMPLE one-liners describing what they do.
The list is from Linux From Scratch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/8.4/prologue/package-choices.html Personally, I've been seeing some of those package names for MANY years. This is the first time I finally understood what they do... instead of them just being e.g. a blip in a long list of other packages that needed upgraded via apt/apt-get. :) Hope this helps someone else.
