Summary
In this chapter, we have taken a crash course in the world of package management. As you can see, Ubuntu Server offers an amazing number of software packages and various tools that we can use to manage them. We began the chapter with a discussion of how package management with Ubuntu works, then we worked through installing packages, searching for packages, and managing repositories. Snap packages were also covered, which is a newer technology that aims to enhance software distribution on Ubuntu.
In Chapter 4, Navigating and Essential Commands, we’ll take a look at foundational commands for navigating the Linux Shell, understanding the filesystem layout, and more.
