Most definitely. I use both: for search and show, I love aptitude (perhaps some familiarity factor). For install/remove I use apt-get: its more simple-minded resolution algorithm is essential to cope with the Frankendebian horror shows I tend to throw at it (aptitude tends to ponder for a while and proposes to rip out 3/4 of that mess :-) So love to both. And they regularly grow features seen on the other. regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAliuwzQACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbJoACfeho3WtiNoNPN1Xfdo+EFtcwu GGcAnAiIZuSSfFshIAd6CPXwdNL46qwr =zb1w -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
