[Winter]

RPM-Based:

List all installed packages on your system:
# yum list installed

# yum search <package-name>
(note, "yum search" is case-insensitive, unlike all the other yum commands)

Create an up-to-date local cache of your repositories' metadata:
# yum makecache

Download and install the latest updates of your software:
# yum update

Remove a package:
# yum remove <package>

Clear local metadata:
# yum clean all

------------

APT-Based:

List all installed packages on your system:
# dpkg -l  (the letter L)

Search for a package in your repositories:
# apt-cache search <package-name>

Create up-to-date repository metadata:
# apt-get update

Download and install the latest updates of your software:
# apt-get upgrade

Remove a package:
# apt-get remove <package>

Clear local metadata:
# apt-get clean


There's more for each, but them's the basics.

I'm more used to Redhat/Fedora/CentOS than Debian/Ubuntu, but I tried to 
double check my work here.  I do think apt is faster than yum, however.

Of course my heart still belongs to Slackware.
