Hi,
just tried Zorin for the first time and I have to say that Im really likin' it so far.

But now I would like to install some Packages wich somehow can not be found with "apt-get install".
I feel like the options have been limited(from ubuntu -> Zorin).
How can I make that it becomes possible to access all the packages which I can access under ubuntu with apt-get install?

Thanks in advantage!

P.S. Im running it on an old Medion Laptop(MD96500) and after closing the laptop or manually going into hibernate and then reopening it, I only get a wired graphic-bug so that I have to "force" a reboot by holding power on for 5 secs. Do you know something to fix that too? thanks!
