I've installed RH, MD, SuSE, Caldera, FreeBSD, etc. and now would like to install Debian 2.2 I know, I know, but I like "punishment" :)
I'm kid of hesitant because of all the new "nomenclature" such as "dselect" "dpkg", "apt-get", etc. I've been monitoring this news list for a while, and I have to say this is a great place for all kinds of great information. Thanks... A couple of things I don't quite understand. I believe that "dselect" is a front end for the "dpkg" command. Is this correct? What is the difference between "dpkg" and "apt-get"?? Why would I want to use one over the other? Can I use "apt-get" to install packages off of my Official 4 CD set or should I use "dpkg"? I'm getting ready to set up a "triple" boot with W98 (for wife and kids), FreeBSD 4.1 (for me), and Debian 2.2 (again for me). I currently have a dual boot. Please be gentle with your responses. We all gotta learn somehow :) Personal email responses are welcomed. --- Christopher W. Aiken, Scenery Hill, Pa, USA chris at cwaiken dot com, www.cwaiken.com Preferred O/S: FreeBSD 4.1
