The focus of this doc is gathering: 
How-To's, Workarounds for issues, Mods/Tweaks, Killer Apps, & maybe more main 
sections?
We need more readers to become editors, so the main sections can have sub-sections created.
And so that new and outdated content, can be added and removed more regularly.

In most cases need to authenticate with: devel-su + rootme
Various system info output:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
To determine if a package is installed:
dpkg -l <package name>  OR 
dpkg -l | grep <package name> (the "-l" is a small L)
Installed indicates with a "ii" and un-installed with "un" in-front of the package. 
If output is empty then it doesn't exist in the repo, & needs to be installed via browser.
To see packages a package depends on (dependencies):
apt-cache showpkg <package name>
Installing a package...
pkgmgr install -V -p <package name>
free -m
Overcome pkmgr lock file issue that’s stopping a uninstall:
killall -q pkgmgrd
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock
apt-get remove <package name>
