 An aside:
 
 I sincerely hope that apt-get does not go away.  Aptitude has *a long*
 ways to go before it is very useful to me.  It reminds me of dselect -
 clumsy and not very efficient.  I could have a package found and installed
 using apt-get before I even began to guess which subheading it is hiding
 under in aptitude.  To me aptitude is just an unwanted step-child of
 dselect - which I didn't like either.
 
 That is just my 2 cents worth of course.  Everybody else in the world is
 free to disagree.
