It has never broken my box. apt-get (before I learned about apt-listbugs) broke my box once and I upgrade packages almost every day.with ideas about dependencyresolution different from the known universe, so if you're going to use it,don't mix it with any other package management. It *will* break your box.
apt-get is all I use - there's too much for me to deal with in the GUI programs, and combined with a bunch of single-key commands, I find it difficult. I use
apt-get install xxxxx apt-get remove xxxxx apt-cache search xxxxx and that's it. But I am a relative newby at the game. I'm apt-getting apt-listbugs right now. I'm intrigued. :) Adam
