Freesweep is an implementation of the popular minesweeper game, where one tries to find all the mines without igniting any, based on hints given by the computer. Unlike most implementations of this game, Freesweep works in any visual text display - in Linux console, in an xterm, and in most text-based terminals currently in use.

The object of this game is to find the location of the mines hidden in the minefield and to mark their location by placing a warning flag.

There are many minesweeper clones. This one is the most similar to the Windows one in terms of look and feel.

aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.

aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: aptitude-robot hobbit-plugins
