I strongly recommend the Storm Package Manager (stormpkg) currently in
testing and unstable. No other GUI interface to apt-get comes close.
Stormpkg makes it easy whether you want to do a full upgrade or install
just one package, or look at what you have on your system already, or see
what is available. The file /etc/apt/sources.list can also be managed from
within stormpkg.
