Screen shots look good.

returns: "No such package"
Zorin Forum says Synaptic is pre-installed on Zorin OS.
Ubuntu says:
Synaptic is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu. It combines ... simplicity of the graphical user interface with the power of the apt-get command line tool.Graphics sounds good. Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Where is it?
Did not like my improvised: synaptic -version

Guessing it's not loaded on this OS?
Checked the Zorin Software Manager:
Synaptic Package Manager is there. Do I wish to remove?
Nope. But I tick options I might need on a guess basis & wait for auto-update.
OMG!!!! I found it:
>Zorin Menu
>System Tools
>Admin
>Synaptic Package Manager
OMG! This is so much easier.
Marked up x4 messaging plug-ins for installation. Told it to update & it did!
Adobe Flash plug-in isn't ticked, so I guess it's not installed.
Couple of other things are ticked, under the Adobe tag, but I don't know that this has anything to do with Flash - so I think I should be good.
Java was a big more complicated. Masses of Java. Not sure what deal is.
eg. 'JavaScript Library for Dynamic Web Applications'
Helps if you know what this is. Likewise with engine libraries and object something wrappers. Can I live without the 'syntax highlighting widget'?
Tempted to get rid of the lot, but then I'll find myself having to install the OS all over again.
Back to not knowing what I'm doing. LOL
