Aptitude is somewhat more friendly and does some of the same things, though it doesnt have all of dselect's features, I used to use it until I got more used to dselect. For apt-get there is a GUI front-end synaptic you might also want to take a look at, though I like to use apt-cache to search and then apt-get to install, since apt-get is quite easy to use. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
