how do i use apt-get

[Jorge Rivera]

Hi Arjan.
Sorry, but i don't agree with your last statement, maybe a little bit.
My point is, there are Profesional tools and Amateurs tools, i'm not
talking about a hammer which anyone can use, but let's say cameras,
there are plain basic cameras with just one button for taking the
shot, no matter what button u push the camera take the shot, and there
are pro camera with a lot of intimidating control knobs that a newbie
has no idea what are they about (at least without reading the manual),
my point is ¿which one is better? ¿which one has more flexibility?. I
mean, i am with user friendly OS but not at the cost of flexibility.
If you take the time (i guess at the end it's all about time) to learn
more about the PRO camera, you'll end taking far better shots, and,
the more u learn the pro will be your shots.
That's my 2 cents.
