    Greetings:

    Another RH to Debian convert question...

    I'm used to rpm but clueless about apt, etc. I've mostly gotten the
    hang of dselect I think.

    Can someone tell me the equivilant these commands, and/or what to run
    to get the desired result:

    rpm -qa = show all packages installed?

    rpm -q --whatprovides xxxx = tell me what package provided program
    xxxxx

    Thanks very much for the education as I convert to debian!

    Scott
