APT is a *management system* for software packages. For normal day to
day package management there are several frontends available, such as
aptitude(8) for the command line or synaptic(8) for the X Window
System. Some options are only implemented in apt-get(8) though.
apt-get is the *command-line tool* for handling packages, and may be
considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT library.
