Managing packages using apt on Ubuntu
On Ubuntu Synaptics package manager allows you to search and install packages. It is essentially a front end to APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) and package management can be performed from the command line as well. This can be very handy if you are using SSH to connect to a remote machine and do not have the luxury of using the graphical interface.
apt-cache and apt-get are the commands that work with APT and help searching/installing packages.

Ubuntu has a built in Remote Desktop functionality that allows you to connect to your machine from a remote location. This is not enabled by default but can be easily enabled. If the Ubuntu machine is restarted you cannot remote desktop into in because it would be waiting at the login screen. This too can be fixed with the auto login mechanism.

Ask any Linux/Unix administrator if they could perform their daily tasks without ‘grep’ and their answer would be an emphatic NO!!!. Windows lacks many of the unix commands/utilities that are very simple yet highly efficient. Luckily there is a collection of GNU Unix-like utilities that are available for Windows.
