I am using apt-get for the first time on RedHat 9.0 and 7.3 boxes. Two questions:
1.) After I do a "apt-get update" to update the packages available, where can I see a list of the packages that I can install?
2.) If I see in the list a newer version of Apache ( as an example ) that would overwrite an older version that I want to keep, how would I prevent it from updating the older version if I do a " apt-get upgrade" ?

Thanks
