I wrote apt-get out of habit. Apt has now absorbed all of apt-get's features and is the end-user tool. It could break backward compatibility in the future if that seems warranted. Apt-get is for scripts and will remain backward-compatible if possible.
Thus it makes no difference which you use, except in that if you use apt-get exclusively you might miss out on some new features. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
