The Face of Aptitude
On the face of it aptitude, a Debian package manager looks like some RGB monitor and a file manager from Ms-dos.
Aptitude maintains records, installs, updates, and removes packages installed on a computer. It does so being informative as possible. It is able to drill down into a package allowing you to extract what you want, or not. Collapse an update down into it parts, display information such as the maintainer of the update, their web page, size compressed and uncompressed, source, priority and more.
Aptitude also operates independently from its menu, allowing commands to be issued at the command line. e.g. aptitude install thispackage, aptitude remove thispackage or aptitude update and more.
