I have been using apt-get in my desktop for many years without problems, but after checking some comments about aptitude here in the list, it seemed like a better idea. I was worried about about the "removing problem", which I had seen mentioned here also, so I stuck with apt-get with my desktop. But, since I had fresh installation in the laptop, I thought I would it just start with it, so that there would be no problems with the databases.... But, I guess that the insallation software used apt-get (it was a net-install), since the first time I tried to use apitutde, right after the installation, it wanted to remove MANY packages... (Nothing could be considered "unused" yet, I suppose...) Not knowing enough to decide whether or not it was really wise to remove them, I again stuck with good old apt-get. So, with net-install at least, using aptitude from the start might not work "out of the box". Well, I will make a fresh install of Sarge (now from DVDs) in a new HD in my desktop, so I'll give it another shot. Best to all, Luis P.S.: any comments on what happened in the laptop installation or how could I have fixed it would be greatly appreciated, although I will check the man pages (etc.) before my next install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
