you have my vote for apt-get ;)
Yes, apt-get is nice but it does miss some things since it doesn't handle Recommends, etc.
dselect isn't bad...if you spare the time to learn it...
Indeed. But, I really hate dselect. Personally, I think aptitude is a _much_ better frontend to the packaging system. If you do upgrade from potato to woody, make sure after changing your sources.list to woody you upgrade dpkg and apt-get first, and install apt-utils: <edit /etc/apt/sources.list> apt-get update apt-get install dpkg apt-get apt-utils apt-get dist-upgrade done. ;) ttyl, -- Josh Huber
