Pirut is worthless and Ubuntus gui is decent but I will still go dig up
Synaptic even though I don't like it because it allows me to get my job
done. What I look for in Smart is both, simple enough gui but not limiting
my power in any way. I can search, I can add repos, I can install and I can
delete. I don't know why so many package management projects miss such a
simple target.
