I used gnome-apt for a while, then aptitude (still using it from time to time), then synaptic. What i dont like of gnome-apt (same reason as for another thread Ximian setup vs. Webmin), is the unecessary loads of libs and gnome-related-libs IF (note the "if") the user is not using gnome for instance. the fact the filters might be not so direct for a non experienced user - apart for the fact that i feel they are quite easy to use-, it is actually almost irrilevant on the end-user point of view. What is great about those filters is that I can prepare a debian package, as i'm doing for demudi, with an already customised filter menu, and starting directly with a filter i build. That will make life much easier for the final user. This is my impression, i might be wrong. ciao, marco -- ************************************************************************ * marco trevisani * * http://trevisani.mine.nu marco@centrotemporeale.it * * http://www.agnula.org -- A GNU/Linux Audio Distribution * * Neither MS-Word nor MS-PowerPoint attachments please: * * See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html * * Gpg Fingerprint = 6096 84B8 046C A5C9 B538 255E 9FFF 1121 3AFB FFA6 * ************************************************************************
