[15:46] <gz1[m]> - sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[15:46] <gz1[m]> is unecessary?
[15:46] <gz1[m]> - sudo apt --purge remove packagename
[15:46] <gz1[m]> does the same thing?

[15:48] <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.
[15:50] <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.
[15:51] <Eickmeyer> Might even be an old article.
