    A Linux Magazine article about apt-get commands

    This article is a blessing for me although it may be old hat for most FL members. I am hoping that the second part shows me how to eliminate my apt-list changes/glade problem.

    It covers all the basics nicely although I have never liked aptitude so the next one probably wouldn't be as interesting as this one. So have you mooed today?

    Here's another silly for you.

    Press Alt + F2 and type "free the fish" (without the quotes) and press enter

    1. Press ALT + F2 and type "gegls from outer space" (without the quotes)

    2. In a terminal

    aptitude help
aptitiue moo
aptitiue -v moo
 aptitiue -vv moo
 aptitiue -vvv moo
 aptitiue -vvvv moo
aptitiue -vvvvv moo
    3. In openoffice.org (version 2 and possibly version 3) Calc

    Code:
    jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude moo
There are no Easter Eggs in this program.
jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude -v moo
There really are no Easter Eggs in this program.
jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude -vv moo
Didn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program?
jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude -vvv moo
Stop it!
jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude -vvvv moo
Okay, okay, if I give you an Easter Egg, will you go away?
jun@jun-laptop ~ $ aptitude -vvvvv moo
All right, you win.
