I'd add to this that aptitude has an excellent curses-based interactive mode (just run aptitude with no options) which feels similar to synaptic to use. Very powerful search options (which are also available on the aptitude command line) and interactive resolver choice selection which is occasionally very useful. A surprising number of people on debian-devel were unaware that aptitude has an interactive mode during a related discussion over there, so I think it's worth pointing out here too :). > -- -- Matt Wheeler http://funkyh.at
