Hai, I am a user of Debian linux.I am trying to use it as extecively as possibly with all the pacakages it providies. I am a student studying B.Tech final year from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. I recently came to know about "wajiz" which is used as another prompt in the terminal. I dont know exactly what it is and how to use this. I am much eager to know about it. I would be very thankfull if you provide me the detalied information and help me out to us the linux more efficiently.I will be very thankful for your help.
I'm taking a guess that you're actually referring to "wajig" which is essentially a unified command line interface to the collection apt tools such as apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg, etc.
I use it myself for the most part, though occasionally I will use aptitude (big dist-upgrades on unstable for example). The basic commands are similar to the commands for apt-get, such as update, install, remove, purge, upgrade, dist-upgrade, etc. Other commands I use frequently include search and whichpkg.
