I'm sure they can get by with apt alone which we have working fine on SLES. However, there is one in the project team that feels that "synaptic is a must". I'm trying to comply. It would be nice to have since many of the developers are coming from a window's world and are used to GUI tools.

Hi Marc, If it's a gui they want, why not install Webmin. If you have apt running and a sourcelist is available, Webmin will automagically recognize this and try to use it for software installs and updates. Once installed you just log in to Webmin and go to > system > software packages, and there it is, ready to browse/search for new packages or updating. cheers, Marcel
