If I log on as root and at the consoletype "apt-get update" I get error saying:

bash: apt-get: command not found

I read somewhere about using dpkg or something like that to restore it. Any ideas? Please help cause I need to get a few things.

Do this:

right click the desktop
mouse to Apps --> Tools --> Enable Apt

the watch the magic in the terminal window.
after the magic is done,

double click on XTerminal in the upper left hand corner of your desktop,
or
right click on the desk top and
mouse to XShells --> Root Access

now you can type:

apt-get update

to update apt-get, watch more magic, then you can:

apt-get install yourpackagename

Have fun.
