| 80 | <title>Introduction</title> |
| 81 | <para> |
| 82 | The &app; enables you to install software onto your computer and to manage the software, that is |
| 83 | already installed. The software is bundled in so called <emphasis>packages</emphasis>. A single |
| 84 | application can even exist of several packages: e.g. the <application>Mozilla Internet Suite</application> is packaged |
| 85 | to <emphasis>mozilla-browser</emphasis>, that contains the actual browser, and <emphasis>mozilla-mail |
| 86 | </emphasis>, that contains the mail client (this example refers to Debian GNU/Linux and can be |
| 87 | different on your distribution). |
| 88 | </para> |
| 89 | <para> |
| 90 | Nearly all applications reuse the functionality of other applications or libraries |
| 91 | (libraries only provide functions to other libraries or applications and are no stand alone |
| 92 | applications) to avoid doubled efforts. So the most packages depend on other packages. The &app; resolves the <emphasis> |
| 93 | dependencies</emphasis> for you automatically. |
| 94 | </para> |
| 95 | <para> |
| 96 | Technically the &app; is based on the package manager <application>APT</application> and provides functions, that are |
| 97 | similar to the ones of the command line tool <command>apt-get</command> in a graphical environment. |
| 98 | </para> |
| 99 | <para> |
