Remove "Add / Remove Programs"; keep Synaptic  
Written by shadowfirebird the 2 Mar 08 at 21:45. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Do we actually need both "Add / Remove Programs" and "Synaptic Package Manager"? --Surely not. And, it's confusing, even to me.

If we only have one, which should we keep? --Synaptic, clearly, since it's more featureful.

Can we make Synaptic more user-friendly to novices? --Yes, easily. Give it "novice" and "expert" modes; maybe tart up the graphics a bit.
