Software repository for Debian on BBB

My first time with BBB and I notice there is no stock “Software center”. I’m learning slowly how to build from source and that is a good thing. Is there a way to get the software repository working? If this sounds a little silly please forgive as I’m still in early days of Linux.

Thanks!

Hi Roony,

There are lot of pre-built images are available for Debian maintained by
various people/communities.

And debian repository itself contains almost all packages for ARM, you can
simply do "apt-get" to install any new packages.
