Aptitude is what this howto recommends as the main user interface for managing packages for your Debian system. This is because, as we stated through the document, aptitude has a set of features that makes the administrator's life easier.
There are, though, other user interfaces, even graphical ones, like Synaptic or GNOME-APT. In this chapter we're going to go through them.
Synaptic was originaly written by Alfredo Kojima for Conectiva. Today it's maintained by people from both Conectiva and Debian. It was originaly written in wing, Window Maker's graphical toolkit, but was rewritten in GTK+.
To use Synaptic you have to install the synaptic
package.
Synaptic is probably the most usable of all the graphical user interfaces for APT, the one the end users will most likely have less problems with.
GNOME-APT was first written by Havoc Pennington and Diego Lages for the Debian system. It was unmaintained for some time but people managed to keep it alive for Woody. For Sarge the package gained a new maintainer that took it forward. As oposed to Synaptic, GNOME-APT is for those people who, while enjoying a nice Gtk+ interface, like flexibility over usability.
You can use GNOME-APT by installing the gnome-apt
package.
