Hello guys. I have been excited with this product now, and am eager to install any and all new software I find, primarily for testing the installation process, functionality, ease of use, etc... However, I am not the most fluent person in Linux apps as far as compiling source (if that is the only available info).

I have already attempted to install a couple apps using the deb extension. The most common problem I run into is not having all the dependencies. It errors out and tells me there are missing dependencies, and will even list them. Now, I know I could probably find the rest of them, but how difficult would it be to list all dependencies needed with links where to find them if you do not provide them? Even the MANaOS browser app had it nicely laid out, with all dependencies, UI files, engine file etc, but even the dependencies needed dependencies.

The installations themselves are pretty straight forward, the tablet has a Aplication Installer app, which will install any deb file (as far as I know, only deb files). If anyone else can suggest some pointers to me as to where I may read up more about locating dependencies, me and my other associates would be greatly appreciative.
