Aptitude vs. apt-get for a beginner
 

Hello!
Is it true that aptitude is more aggressive than apt-get and it's better to stick with apt-get for a Ubuntu beginner?

I think it is more a case of personal preference, both use apt, (which uses dpkg).
(My preference is apt.) :)

Hi.

I tend to use all 3 depending on when... can't beat the easy of Synaptic for just putzing around, definitely Aptitude when building up from scratch with a netinst or APT for single packages, quick updates\grades and so on.

I also

occasionally.

+1 for to each and there own but you got to try them all. I'd say APT for us ":newbie:s" to learn more.

Best wishes and have fun! :D
