[plug] Debian Newbie

[Kim Covil]

Yep I use a combination of aptitude and apt-get from the command line...

In aptitude you can turn off the default behaviour of automatically
trying to upgrade all installed packages... it's in the Options menu...

The later versions are a bit easier to use than the original ones... but
I am not sure what is available for potato and woody... I tend to run
sid...

Cheers

Kim
