Please, I do not want to start flamewars, but somebody told me, that aptitude is the recommended tool to install packages, and apt-get is orphaned. Hmm, o.k., apt-get is working for me, this is o.k., but I ask myself now: What is the recommended tool in future? Especially, as the handling of dependencies and packages in apt-get, aptitude and synaptic are in each different ways. Again: This shall be no flamewar!!!
