Hi You have been of much help for me. Thanks for all the information. Because I thought "apt" was a typo on your part, I installed via apt-get! Honestly, I have been gathering heaps of information so far here and there online, and that's why I don't have apparently a clear understanding of what I'm doing with all the software and gadgetry around me. Are you saying apt installs different things than what apt-get would?
