Description: terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only)
aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a
flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most
packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get. aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken. This package contains a version of aptitude compiled with only the classic terminal-based interface (using curses). For an
experimental graphical interface, see the package aptitude-gtk.

Love your vids. Do some more Unity bashing vids!

[gotbletu]

@ZamatoElite I dont like to bash Unity or any Distro, thats on them really, because i hate bad software or stupid ppl, thats all =) . But thanks for the support *digital hi5* lols

@gotbletu :) I don't think I need to make you a script for this but if you wish I can do that... check

paste . ubuntu . com / 722399

[gotbletu]

@TheMeanEYE so that where they hide it lols, sure make me a l33t script, then i will read those reviews when im in depression mode, it should cheer me up instantly haha

[TheMeanEYE]

@gotbletu Did you notice that network sharing from Nautilus doesn't work in latest Ubuntu. They've broken so many things it's not funny anymore.

[gotbletu]

@TheMeanEYE not sure, i dont really use the network feature.

[gotbletu]

@TheMeanEYE dope, ill give it a try

I agree aptitude is better, as a Debian user I always use aptitude rather than apt.

P meaning that no trace of the package exists on the system

[anotherdayinthecore]

aptitude also has a nice TUI (text user interface, like something you see on midnight commander or the older Debian packaging tool called dselect) but in the recent Ubuntu they've fvcked up its ability to browse changelogs, see LP #824708

@gotbletu well its not that its just im stingy with apps that hog resources i keep my pc fast as possible under my budget ...just gonna state it im quit happy playing gta iv on mid rang settings

[gotbletu]

@mamado226 yea i understand s-c is for new users, i just think the version they got right now isnt that good, loading is slow, and doesnt show all packages. Trying Unity and using it on a daily base are to different things. Most ppl i know try it, say it was pretty then went back to windows.
