Aptitude vs Apt-Get
,----[ Quote ]
| Aptitude is just superior to apt-get in every way, shape, and form. Better
| dependency handling. Better curses application. Better options. ONE tool.
| Better stdout formatting. The list goes on and on. I see constantly, on
| forums, IRC and email, the use of apt-get. We need to better educate our
| brethren and sisters about the proper use of tools, and show them the
| enlightened way of aptitude. I’ve been using aptitude since I first learned
| about it, ad will continue to do so the remainder of my Debian/Ubuntu days.

| All of this can be accomplished in Debian as follows:
|
| apt-get install kerry
|
| Phew, that was tricky. I can see why those windows guys find Linux
| sooo difficult. It is waaaaay easier to go to some random website,
| download an installer, pray that it is safe, double-click on the
| installer, click "Yes, I do agree to all of these outrageous license
| terms and I don't mind that it includes spyware, and adware", click
| Next, Next, Next, and finally reboot a couple of times.
