I used to use either apt-get or aptitude to install packages. Is it
OK to do so?
I've not read your link.
Joey Hess wrote a long critique in here a couple of years ago, saying
essentially yes. aptitude (I thimk) logs more of its actions than
does apt-get, but other than that, they're just wrappers that call
dpkg. I think. Read Joey's post, it's definitive.
I read [1] that it is not a good idea.
