I was wondering in when (which year) the first version of synaptic was created. I didn't find this information here, so if someone knows or wants to look it up: please add it to the article. --Bernard François 19:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Icon

Should we add the icon: ? --Ysangkok 21:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Why not...done.--Chealer 04:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kynaptic

Since the Kynaptic page redirects here, it seems like it deserves a mention, even if it's just to say that they're two different names for the same product(which they seem to be). BioTube 21:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Done! --RaviC 20:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot change

Someone changed the screenshot to Image:Synapticpm.png. I've reverted this, but the change was done again "because it show a new layout for the filters in the lower left and also has a new filter 'Origin'". I have no idea what Origin is, but, obviously, it's not really a *new* layout, it's an *adapted* layout because the real layout wouldn't be great with 5 filters categories, so the different layout is not a reason for change. As for the new filter category itself, this is rather a reason to not use that screenshot, since that filter category is not present in Debian 4.0. I've reverted again. If you still intend to change the screenshot, please provide a new justification here before.--Chealer 04:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
