I recommend using aptitude for everything. It replaces apt-get and apt-cache, and has a ncurses TUI (text user interface) aptitude install gcc aptitude search chess aptitude (for TUI) See the man page for more Aptitude interactive mode is great for browsing the packages and picking out what you want to install, and it is by far the best way to resolve tricky conflicts if you live on the bleeding edge of unstable+experimental. Aptitude is the officially recommended tool for command line package management, replacing apt-get. There used to be technical advantages to aptitude, and minor incompatibles if using *both* aptitude and apt-get, but both of those are in the past now.
