Please, I do not want to start flamewars, but somebody told me, that aptitude 
is the recommended tool to install packages, and apt-get is orphaned.

Hmm, o.k., apt-get is working for me, this is o.k., but I ask myself now: What 
is the recommended tool in future? Especially, as the handling of dependencies 
and packages in apt-get, aptitude and synaptic are in each different ways.

Again: This shall be no flamewar!!!
