Thank you, Michael, for answering my question.  I was hoping that I would be able to use Synaptic to at least try and install a few more applications from the p7(?) repository... knowing that the TDE build hasn't been updated after that time period.  But, I'm finding that TDE 3.5.13 is a little too unstable for me (lots of SEGFAULTS) that I think I'm just going to move on to p9 or p10 GnuStep/WindowMaker so I can enjoy my time with ALT to the fullest.  :)
