OK, so I tried adding everything from Macromedia down just to see what
Synaptic would tell me. I'm looking for cups-pdf so that I can get pdf
printing set up. Still I don't find it. I did an apt-get update and
saw it download info from these other repositories.

It's unclear to me how to make an FC2 machine know where to aquire the
stuff I need for everyday life. (OT for a Planet list, I know, but
appropriate for a household trying to switch to Linux.)

Thanks,
