| Eickmeyer | "apt" is more for doing regular tasks whereas "apt-get" is more for scripting. They do the same thing, but if you're just running from the command line, "apt" has a better user-facing frontend. | 15:48 |
| gz1[m] | Eickmeyer: got it! | 15:50 |
| gz1[m] | "apt-get" as you said is for complex commands and scripting. | 15:50 |
| gz1[m] | For general purpose command line usage apt is enough! | 15:50 |

| gz1[m] | why does this article have "apt-get". Old habits? | 15:50 |
| Eickmeyer | Exactly. | 15:50 |
| Eickmeyer | Might even be an old article. | 15:51 |
