So I guess the most correct thing to say is you should stick with one, or the other. Today Debian recommends using aptitude, but Ubuntu does not install aptitude by default. Ubuntu is not exactly Debian so perhaps the same recommendation does not apply? * I was reading Ubuntu users should use apt-get and not aptitude, because aptitude is special for Debian. Is this right? I still think the best advise is use one, or the other. Mixing them can cause strange database corruption. I don't use Ubuntu because I feel it is not up to the same level of quality as Debian is. No feel about it really, I know Ubuntu isn't. Quality is not their primary goal. There are different motivations going on between the two communities to put it mildly. * Can I do the update with Synaptic?
