Well, it does for me!

Ok, I'd remake my question. If today's preferred method of installing and upgrading software in debian is apt-get, and it has some problems, why is this the first time I heard of it? I mean, from a user perspective, one that reads many debian related mailing lists, apt-get is the most recommended tool, not aptitude. Anyway, how do the debian kde guys make it to do it almost painless? Could it be done the same way? Just being curious, not wanting to start a flame about this! :) -- jabber: golan [EMAIL PROTECTED] bulmalug.net Out: 14.25 ºC -- In: 22.62 ºC
