Search less on that page and look at the bottom on how to add it. Also, I'd recommend using apt-get install over going into red pill mode.

Thank you!
Actually I've tried 'apt-get install less' but it returned "no package found". I guess I have to learn a bit more about this way. My background is gentoo

Yes, that's how I've done it. But I wanted to see the list of all available packages in this repository. I guess I can obtain this using some other apt tool (aptitude?) but so far I didn't have time to read thru all available documentation on apt.
Which package should I install (from which repository) to get command "less" in xterm?
Thanks
