• So where does Cydia install all your applications ? Do:
  ls -asl /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
  Find an interesting dot list file and look at it !
• Saurik also made WinterBoard, and most of the ported UNIX programs, and a LOT more !!!

• It is surprising hard to preview what FREE (not demo or trial etc) JailBroken programs are avail,
  www.iPhoneAppsPlanet.com may help a bit.

"finger, fingerd, last, lsvfs, md and ps" are installed via "adv-cmds" in Cydia.

Oh, and if you are looking for /usr/bin/apt-get
- It is an OPTIONAL terminal program !



- Then you will have "Super Cow Powers" just like me !

Icy:

- Second oldest, but is going out of buinessess.
- http://apt.ripdev.com/
URL: http://www.ripdev.com/
* Free source code for the "icy" package installer/manager, http://github.com/ripdev/Icy

rock:

• The new kid on the block.
  URL: http://www.rockyourphone.com/
  - MUCH faster then Cydia.
  
• I suggest you download and view rOCks
  /var/lib/dpkg/rockdb.sqlite
  too.

Adding Additional Sources:

Add Source: cydia.iphoneil.net
Get App: "Push Fix".
Why: Fix for, Push and YouTube issues are caused by hacktivation.

To UnLock your service SIM for T-Mobile goto cydia and add the source,
http://blackra1n.com/
Then add the package blacksn0w. Now you have a iphone 3G and 3GS unlocker, for the 3.1.2 OS.

HINTS:
- wget http://blackra1n.com/blacksn0w.deb then /usr/bin/dpkg -i /tmp/blacksn0w.deb
After installation, you can delete the .deb file.

• Install your T-Mobile SIM card BEFORE you try to UnLock your BaseBand !!!!!
• It is always safer to JailBreak first,
  then use Cydia or Rock and get "bootneuter" (version 2.1 is current) to UnLock your BaseBand.
• BootNeuter won't reflash your bootloader if it detects that your desired bootloader settings match the current settings.
