I feel it is certainly worthwhile to master. I would be missing critical system components if it was not for adding repository locations to my file. * Is it dangerous to open system files? * I can't stand terminal editors so I grant the root user access to my X session so I can use a sane GUI editor with this command: pfred1@buck:~$ xhost +local:root * OK I have synaptic installed, but I never use it. I mean I have, but it generally doesn't appeal to me. * Is it dangerous to use Synaptic? Or is it just more easy for a beginner? I like aptitude though, and use it often, for whatever that is worth. In fact I just used aptitude to check the status of synaptic on this system. I haven't used synaptic on this PC in so long I couldn't remember if I had it installed, or not. Admittedly I am not too crazy about aptitude's ncurses interface, but just to do a show, a search, or install, I use aptitude all of the time. * Thank You.
