Faster Application Manager tries to be what the name says, a fast-to-use graphical front-end for apt-get, written from scratch and optimized for the N900/Maemo5. It's WAY faster than the built-in manager, allowing multiple selections before time-consuming operations, etc, etc...

It can:
- Install, upgrade and remove packages (select multiple before performing operations!)
- Filter packages quickly by category or status
- Sort packages (by name, date or size), search packages, blacklist packages
- Get changelogs for packages from maemo.org
- Optionally handle ALL packages, not just user/ categories
- Manage repositories
- Works both in landscape and portrait mode

It can't:
- Integrate into the system's auto-update functionality or Ovi store

I haven't heard of anyone messing up their system with this, so I'd consider it "relatively safe" to use... All the standard warnings of extras-devel in general still apply, though.

NOTES:
- Make sure your network connection is online or your operations will fail
- A log file of the last operations is available at /root/.fapman/lastlog.txt (also accessible through the menu). See the log if you receive error messages.
