  If you're running bash you can source the file 

	/etc/bash_completion

  This gives you tab completion on a lot of commands.  For example:

	apt-get install kernel-image-<TAB>

  apt-get upg<TAB> also does the right thing for example...

  This can be setup globally if you uncomment the relevent lines
 in /etc/bash.bashrc.
