However, this program is more of a low-level +tool. apt-get is a higher-level tool as it will +invoke dpkg as appropriate and also because it knows +to install other packages which are required for the package you're +trying to install, as well as how to retrieve the package from your +CD, the network, or wherever. + + + +Other front-ends for package management, like aptitude +and synaptic are also in use and depend on +apt-get. These front-ends are recommended for new users, +since they integrate some additional features (package searching and status checks) +in a nice user interface. + + + +apt must be configured so that it knows where to retrieve +packages from. The installer largely takes care of this automatically based on +what it knows about your installation medium. The results of this configuration +are written to the file /etc/apt/sources.list, and you can examine and edit +it to your liking after the install is complete. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
