For Debian and Ubuntu I prefer to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_(software) instead of command line. There's only one distro where I like the command line for managing packages from repositories, but for DEBs and RPMs IMO GUIs are more comfortable and especially Synaptic is a really good

I thought I read or heard on a podcast (TechSNAP???) that Firefox (and by implicit extension Iceweasel) was blacklisting sun-java due to Oracle's epic fail with security. Can anyone confirm? Not sure of a fix, other than, maybe, try openjdk/icetea. I don't usually run java apps, if I can avoid it.
