Re: dictionary

onus, these instructions are for Ubuntu, so they may not work in Arch - we use pacman, not apt-get.
Which packages are you looking for? Check in the repos, look for them in the AUR (as GERGE suggested).

Edit: Package names may be different too, so try searching for parts of the name, like 'moby' or 'gcide'.
