I am running a flavor of Deb that is unstable. I am loving the apt-get  
system. However there are some packages that I would like to have that I 
can't  get using apt-get (mplayer and synce for example) I googled and  
found the programs I want and they are available as .deb packages but I 
have no idea how to install them.  I could compile the source I guess ( 
Haven't tried it with Deb yet.) but since someone went through the time 
and effort to make them Deb packages I want to go through the time and 
effort to install them the "Debian way"
TIA
