Advisable to install suggested packages automatically?
 
Aptitude installs recommended packages automatically. Is it advisable to configure Aptitude to install suggested packages automatically too?

Thanks.

Only if you like bloat

I prefer to review any packages that Aptitude suggests. Sometimes, they are worthwhile (documentation, other useful apps, etc) while other times they are not.

Therefore, I don't think you should make Aptitude install suggested packages automatically - but certainly look at anything it suggests.
