Hi ChrisL. Just to add to what gold_finger has said, although Synaptic doesn't organise packages by category, you can search by the type of program you're looking for (eg image viewer, browser, file manager), rather than just by name. It returns a rather confusing list of packages with brief descriptions, but more information is displayed when you click on one. With a bit of further research and/or testing, you can usually find what you're looking for.
