Hey, Greg,
I've never used dselect, and some of the Lenny doc seemed to
discourage its use. I'm curious: What you you like about it?
Thanks-
Douglas
Simple really, I know how to use it really well for my needs. I have been using
it for about 10 years so I am very comfortable with it.
I do use aptitude and apt-get, from a command line, great tools also.
Dselect has been deprecated in favor of new shining tools. The thing about
suggested preferred tools, ... Debian deprecated apt-get in favor of aptitude in
Lenny, Squeeze reversed that suggestion, apt-get is okay to use now, dselect will
probably never make a comeback though :-)
