locate a package for Ubuntu

OK I admin Im being lazy and didnt want to follow on from my last post by downloading and installing UltraMonkey by hand. But since I was away from my Ubuntu machine, I couldnt fire up Synaptic to see if there was a Ubuntu release of the package I wanted.

As discovered by a colleage of mine, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is the answer - allows you to search for what you want via the web instead. Cheers, Matt! =)

Of course the package you want might not be listed, so perhaps it is available from another repository? Then you might find you need to edit your sources.list file.
