I know that you don't ask me, but i provide my point of view: * apt-get is quicker than aptitude and has (by the release note) better dependency solver for dist-upgrade (but how often i do dist-upgrade?) * aptitude provides the nice UI, which allow me to inspect some details (descriptions, changelogs, etc) and then i can better choose whoch from recommends/suggests dependencies i need to install/uninstall (some from them i want and some no) Then, aptitude is my choice mostly due UI. Although i can do all basic operations with both tools, to achieve the same things with apt-get i need run it more times. Inspect cca 50 daily upgrades on testing by apt-get sounds for me as horrible job. But you are right, to simple install some individual package, the apt-get is much quicker. And finally, i switch to aptitude in time, when the release notes suggests aptitude (i forgot exact codename) and i will stay on it until it will works for me. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
