Daniel, 

I have read about the advantages of aptitude over apt-get before, but 
understood that one must use one or the other and not both.  Before I first 
heard about these advantages, I had been using apt-get extensively so I 
thought it was too late to change over.  If it is advisable to change over, 
what would be the best strategy?

Matthew,

Thanks.  Easier to switch if I don't need to learn another syntax.
