To dselect or aptitude, that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outragous dselect where, alas, Sarge can barely meet Sid Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by learning aptitude end them. But seriously, both have their (dis)advantages, use them, feel them, decide yourself. Better is what you can make out of them. Cheers, Flo - who was a dselect advocate for a long time and then switched to aptitude because of its ability to easily handle mutliple releases. I stayed there, and I don't regret it.
