Advanced Packaging Tool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | APT simplifies the process of installing and removing software on Unix systems, by automating the retrieval, (from the Internet, local network, or CD) the configuration, the compiling (sometimes) and the installation of software from APT sources. |
 | | APT is often hailed as one of Debian's best features, giving Debian the reputation of being a "pain to install, but a joy to maintain", although with Debian 3.1 and its debian-installer, Debian's installation might be too easy nowadays to keep this true. |
 | | APT pinning is a way for administrators to make Debian GNU/Linux's version of APT to grab particular packages from different distributions, using it with more than two of the Debian release sources: stable, testing, and unstable. |
