I have to say I'm getting confused.  I'm in the middle of setting up
my first Debian server  (which used to be Ubuntu).

I will be administering it remotely and would like to use the best
tool for the job.

Now I read conflicting opinions from experienced people about apt-*,
aptitude, and wajit.

Is there a consensus?

Thanks.

well, personally i prefer aptitude, its more verbose, and i like that. but on sidux (and other) forums people suggested apt-get, it is said that it handles massive upgrades better (?). to be honest i never mentioned that. so last couple of years i use aptitude on all my servers.
