| | Package search |
Search the DistroWatch database for distributions using a particular package. If you are looking for a distribution with the latest kernel, select "linux" from the drop-down box below and type the version number into the text box next to it. Please note that the best way to obtain the GNOME version is by searching for "nautilus", while KDE Plasma is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package. Apache 2.x is listed as "httpd". As for versioning, if no version number is provided, this page will return any recent versions of the selected package. It is also possible to perform searches for distributions which do not contain a specific package. This returns a list of distributions where the given package is not present on the installation media.
The package version search offers the ability to search for packages which are closeto a specific version, exactly equal to a specific version, greater than or less thana given version. The second field in the search form allows visitors to switch betweenthese relations. Most people will probably want to use the like option as it willsearch for packages close to a given version. When no version is specified, likefinds packages close to the latest version.
Have fun and let us know how we can improve the search engine!
