Hi,
I use Ubuntu and depend on Synaptic to install/uninstall packages and also to search for packages. I want to gradually learn to do the same things from the command line. Is there any way I can sort of ask synaptic to log all system commands (apt-get or whatever) that it executes with the options?

Apparently, it's very much possible to accidentally click the Send button.
Anyway continuing my reply above. The commands I showed will show you a log of what's installed. If you're looking to learn about commands, you're better off reading man pages or info documents.
Type: `man apt-get` sans quotes for a start.
