Exactly the same situation in which I found myself! Way too confusing

Hi and thanks for everyone's feedback and the suggestions/encouragement
to use aptitude.
I first learned dselect when starting with Debian several years ago.
Due to discussions like this, people tipped me off to apt-get and I
started making good use of that over the past couple years. I've been

Hi all. I should maybe spend more time in the archives but just
looking for quick responses.
I assume others running Etch noticed the large amount of updates

apt-get update;apt-get -u dist-upgrade
I get a similar but different set of changes than if I use 'dselect'.

It does not take long to learn them. Just 2 or 3 times use of

If you know the package name -> apt-get install package.
Search for with apt-cache search.

apt-get or dselect... or aptitude, or gnome-apt... or deity... it's a matter
of personal preference

So I have been running Debian for a month now after jumping ship from Red
Hat and I'm trying to devise a solid method of maintaining my system.
What's the best way of installing things? Apt-get? Dselect? Compiling from
