Back again,
This time it's Debian's time, when managing multiple hosts and installations sometimes happens you need to know what package owns a certain utility.
Recently I've faced a quite common problem, I'll take it as an example so it's more clear, I had a common and popular program "pdftotext" and I wanted to have it into another debian installation, quite easy isn't it ? you only need to remember what package has it.

If you just followed my previous blog about Gentoo you'll probably trying to understand what "easy upgrade" is for me and what I've to do for maintaining my system up to date.
If you take a look at the Gentoo Handbook you'll see how you can install and upgrade your system, expecially read Gentoo Upgrading Guide for making these tasks.

One of the best things from a metadistribution like Gentoo is its approach to upgrades and management
I've started using UNIX systems with Minix and Xenix, in '92-'93 I was rolling my Slackware distro with a brand new kernel called Linux, nobody knows it but it was fine and I was happy with it, never tried other Unices and neither worked with others. After a short period I've started on working with UNIX systems heavily and I've seen a lot of them, one of the biggest complaints were the system upgrades... oh what a mess.

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a script that downloads files from youtube, and then extracts the audio from them. Well, it dosn't actualy, it just acts as a wrapper for several different programs that actualy do the work. It adds several fetures though:
Interactive execution
