Synaptic is a powerful but complicated software management alternative to
Ubuntu Software Center.
</desc>
</info>
<title>
Use Synaptic for more advanced software management
</title>
<p>
<app>Synaptic Package Manager</app> is more powerful and can do some
software management tasks which <app>Ubuntu Software Center</app> can't.
Synaptic's interface is more complicated and doesn't support newer Software
Center features like ratings and reviews and therefore isn't recommended for
use by those new to Ubuntu.
</p>
<p>
Synaptic isn't installed by default, but you can <link
href="apt:synaptic">install</link> it with Software Center.
