I believe what I have done is better for several reasons: Modern desktops de-emphasise the command-line and many users probably have never heard of the command-line. Modern desktops include menu systems that are more user friendly than the command-line. Modern desktops include graphical package managers that are more user friendly than the command-line. Modern desktops de-emphasise using sudo to run commands as root. For a given user, there is no way to tell which desktop they are running, which package manager is available and preferred and which run-as-root method is available or preferred. So, we can't hard-code command-line, sudo or apt-get on the page. Once there is a user-friendly page about installing packages using the various mechanisms available, then we could link to that. PS: for users/sysadmins, apt-get is deprecated in favour of apt. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
