apt is great!

[cpb@gold.chem.hawaii.edu]

4 quick items: (no response needed)

1) apt is great!
2) slink is great!
3) I upgraded a hamm installation ~150 packages, ~350 Mbytes with apt upgrade
   the only gotcha was then I had no telnet/telnetd! Not apt's fault but maybe
you could pass it on?
4) Some initial weirdness with libc6 and libstdc in order to get the HAMM dpkg
   to install the SLINK apt package. maybe that's not the best way
   had to use --force-things
5) there is no item 5 except apt and slink are great! I will work up some nerve and
   join the cause soon (Real Soon) thanks -chris
