    It's incredible that someone programmed these commands. "let's add the possibility to install all the repository! Someone could find it useful"

    @crisz nobody programmed it, it's part of the globbing syntax. You can do apt-get install "libsdl*" or something too, it's more useful then.

    @Paramite you'll find all your storage goes pretty quickly. I hope you're not tethering from your phone, could be costly ;)

    I think it would print the size of all of the packages together, then ask you to confirm the downloads before actually doing so. (I doubt it would even make it that far though!) Adding the switch -y will bypass the confirmation and then things would get really messy, really quick! Might have to fire up a VM and try it later...

    @DarkMukke Good call. I'm a yum guy too, that's why I thought of the -y option! I just assumed it was there.. But after checking the man page it looks like it's there for apt-get also.

    I hate to be the showstopper but this will not work. The asterisk will be replaced by any file or folder in the path the command is entered in.
