Derek, in my normally picky-picky mode I would make this comment. Aptitude
is a front end for apt which was crafted as a front end for dpkg. Apt-get
is a command line tool for apt and aptitude is a terminal based front end
for apt. Minor difference from what you wrote, but, strictly speaking,
I think it is more precise.
