Another quirk is that ubuntu normally doesn't let you log in as root, but the first user added is permitted to 'sudo' any command. If you like running as root, you can: sudo su -
sudo -s does the same sudo passwd root will allow you to change the password and log in as root (still can use sudo if you want)
To search for new packages, apt-cache search $search
If you're running ubuntu, you should look into upgrading to 6.06 (dapper) as that has longer term backport support.
