About Package Management
Ubuntu uses packages called "debs" that are related to each other via a large network of dependency and conflict relationships. Packages installed or removed via this system ensure that the appropriate files are installed, configured and removed automatically. Where possible it is best to utilize this system instead of installing software manually or via custom installation scripts. Most software is available in the Ubuntu software repositories and additional "personal package archives" can be added if more modern versions of particular software is needed.
