Lo

I've a few burning needs, so if anyone knows the answers - let me know! :D

1) I need a graphical way of searching text files for a string - and
getting it to replace it (makes for easy re-configuring of files after a
path change)

use any graphical editor with that capabilities. I use kate.

2) Ubuntu had a little graphical app that loaded upon double clicking
DEB files, it let you install them - what is this app? :D

CLI: dpkg -i <filename>

Why would you need a special gui for that? I am sure you could configure
any file manager to do that for you via sudo.

3) I am using the XFCE ubuntu install - does this come with an
auto-updater, or do I have to install something to get it to do that?

I don't know how this works on ubuntu. Ask at ubuntu.

On debian, I just look at security advisories and do
"aptitude update| dist-upgrade"

It would depend on your needs of how/why you would like to automate
updates. This comes up frequently on this list, so just search the
archives.

Cheers,
Johannes
