For Newbies: One line descriptions of important Linux packages

[Cindy Sue Causey <butterflybytes@gmail.com>]

Hi, and Happy New Year (almost)!

This is something that might be helpful for newbies especially. Was
going through some things on my computer and found a NICE list of
familiar Linux package names with SUPER BRIEF, SUPER SIMPLE one-liners
describing what they do.

The list is from Linux From Scratch:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/8.4/prologue/package-choices.html

Personally, I've been seeing some of those package names for MANY
years. This is the first time I finally understood what they do...
instead of them just being e.g. a blip in a long list of other
packages that needed upgraded via apt/apt-get. :)

Hope this helps someone else.

Best wishes!

Cindy :)
