That certainly was a key difference when aptitude originally came out, but my understanding is that apt-get now has the equivalent feature (not sure if they can share data or not though). I still prefer aptitude as a single interface for search, install and info, rather than using different apt- commands for those operations. It's not a big deal though. -jim _______________________________________________ NZLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.linux.net.nz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nzlug
