well i don't "know" Ron but given what i have read i wouldn't bet on
that. :D
I moved from apt-get to aptitude and now I don't even think about it
anymore. This was a while back and it seemed like aptitude wanted to
remove everything and start over. After a bit of research and some
alcohol I dove in. Now I use aptitude in place of apt-get at the
command line.
Instead of:
sudo apt-get install foo
i do:
sudo aptitude install foo
there are a few differences in searching and the like, but i almost
never use "apt-get" anymore.
there's an (older) blog about it on my site that you could take a look
at. it really needs updating, but might give you an idea of some of the
differences.
it's called "I've got a new Aptitude"
