QtMoko - hiw do I find out if a package is available?

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Hi,

There is no 'search' action in apt-get, how do I find out if a package is
available or not?
Example: say I would like to install vi or vim, how do I find out if one or
the other is available for apt-get?
(No, doing 'apt-get install vi' sin't the right way to do it)

Yeah, I know, I reveal my newbie status  with regards to Linux. My excuse is
that on my Xubuntu laptop, I always use synaptic. :^)
