What is a "package"? All software in Adélie Linux is provided to you in the form of packages. A "software package" is a single distribution of computer software that fulfils a purpose. For example, AbiWord, a word processor, is provided in the "abiword" package. When you want to install or uninstall software from your computer, you add (to install) or delete (to uninstall) packages. - Some packages have what are termed subpackages, which provide translations of the software, its documentation, or related accessories. - There are also meta packages, which provide no software themselves, but refer to a collective, related group of software. For instance, the kde-games package allows you to quickly install or uninstall the entire set of KDE Games. + Some packages have what are termed subpackages, which can provide related files such as translations of the software, documentation, or accessories. + There are also metapackages, which provide no software themselves, but refer to a collective, related group of software.

Services - A service, also called a daemon or server process, is a long-running process that provides a function for your computer, or for others on your network. A service may be a web server, print spooler, a screen resource manager, or any other useful process. There are a number of high-quality services packaged and available for you to install on your Adélie Linux system. Once you install one (or more), you will need to configure and enable them. You can then start, restart, stop, or view the status of any service on your system. In this section, we will use the OpenSSH remote shell service in our examples. OpenSSH allows you to connect to your computer using your login name and password, and run commands on it from another computer. + A service, also called a daemon or server process, is a long-running process that provides a function for your computer, or for others on your network.
