Nitpick - the apt-get command doesn't need to be run as superuser if

Why you're right!
Now I might be able to use apt-get to experiment with potential changes
without damaging the system. Thanks.
actually you can do:
apt-get <install or dist-upgrade> --dry-run
and it will show you exactly what will happen. since i have started
using aptitude for my package manager i now try to use:
aptitude --simulate install foo
of course all this is done with the 'sudo' command.
