While hanging out in #debian (#ubuntu? pfft), several people commented
that aptitude is now the "preferred" tool for managing packages on
debian systems. Supposedly, it can manage dependencies better than
apt-get, among other advantages.

Is anyone else using aptitude? Is it better? Is it really the new debian
way?

Cheers,
Eric
