| Summary : A curses-based apt frontend

Description :
Aptitude is a curses-based apt frontend with a number of useful extended
features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible and
extreme flexibility and customization.
Some command line usage for \'apt\' without using Aptitude I\'ve
learnt, and to bring you up-to-date with a cool Debian like
\'feel\' - can be used like this, within aLinux:
[Most of these techniques are simplified for first time users]
apt-get update (updates and/or builds the repository cache)
apt-get upgrade (I always run this firstly to set most vitals)
apt-get dist-upgrade (good run after the \'upgrade\' secondary)
apt-get install xrick (installs application xrick)
apt-get remove xrick (removes application xrick)
apt-get install xrick chromium- toppler- XParticles+ (installs
xrick & XParticles while removing chromium & toppler all in one).
[Check this out - save ya on typing chars. Yes, wild cards!]
apt-get install xri* toppl*- XParti*- perl-Ext*-
You would think the above removes xrick, etc .. but now your
about to start understanding the power of apt. See for yourself.
Note, think of apt like a database for every file and package
on your system. It understands *everything*. You can use it
like this even. Say your doing something and all of a sudden
the prgram tells you your missing a file ..lets take \'/bin/arch\'
for instance. \"\'/bin/arch\' not found\" - hmm, now what package
could /bin/arch be from... no need to google, \'apt\' knows :)
apt-get install /bin/arch (wow \'util-linux\' cool.)
apt-get install /usr/lib/somelib.so (that\'s missing or remove
it replacing \'install\' with \'remove\'. (Installs or Removes
the entire package contents of /usr/lib/somelib.so)
apt-shell (command line shell - self explanatory)
apt-get moo (cute Cow - \"Have you mooed today?\" :)
For the complete index manual for endless apt usage, see

NOTE: Using Aptitude - Aptitude is nicer Graphical front-end
to APT - Saves us issuing commands described above. Now, when
using Aptitude - it\'s another powerfull tool that takes a
while to learn but becomes a breeze when used properly. Saves
us precious time on updates and upgrading in a mouse point &
click tradition. Another small note, aptitude is not as stable
as Synaptic, but it is a little more powerfull then Synaptic.
