Introduction
When the Debian distribution was still somewhat small, dselect and dpkg were
adequate tools for package management. As the collection of packages has
grown in size and complexity these tools are no longer enough to provide a
smooth and easy installation.

new suite of tools to augment dpkg and provide a better installation tool than
is provided by dselect. While a full screen interface is a part of the design, only
the command line interface apt get and an apt method for dselect are currently
in a useable form. These tools are fully integrated into the current installation
process, and have done a lot to improve the installation.
In addition to installing packages, apt get is an excellent tool for upgrading an
existing system. Once you have the tool configured properly, you can upgrade
your entire system over the Internet with a single command.
The following pages describe how to set up this package manager as well as
just how to use it to install, upgrade and remove packages.
