Mint 5 is going to support using CNR out of the box.

I don't know what CNR looks like now, haven't been by to look at it lately. It used to have a lot of programs in it that were pretty badly out of date. If it were me I would use CNR to look up the program and try to install it in a terminal with apt before I pulled it off of CNR. There may be a later version in the repos.

sudo apt-get install program-name

I dont think CNR users would want to use the terminal though, a better alternative is synaptic.
