If you want to also see packages from other distributions you must add it to sources.list, but, *very important*, don't forget to set the Default-Release in /etc/apt/apt.conf or you might mess up your system. Regards, Andrei P.S. If you want a GUI you can try Synaptic, but I doubt it's as fast as apt-cache -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
