	Advanced Packaging Tool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		APT was originally designed to work with.deb packages on Debian systems, but it has since been modified to work with RPM packages via apt-rpm, and to run on other operating systems such as Mac OS X via the fink tool.
		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 pinning is a way for administrators to make Debian's version of APT grab particular packages from different repositories, using it with more than two of the Debian release sources: stable, testing, and unstable.

	Debian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Debian, organized by the Debian Project, is a widely used distribution of free software developed through the collaboration of volunteers from around the world.
		Debian is also known for its package management system, especially APT, for its strict policies regarding the quality of its packages and releases, and for its open development and testing process.
		Debian Developers may resign their positions at any time by orphaning the packages they were responsible for and sending a notice to the developers and the keyring maintainer (so that their upload authorization can be revoked).

	[freshrpms.net] - Apt
		APT (Advanced Package Tool) is a dependency tool, well known to Debian users since it is used by default with their dpkg packages.
		But apt has been ported to work with rpm packages too, by Conectiva, who has now used it for some time in their GNU/Linux distribution.
		Since apt needs metadata about available packages, the original Red Hat Linux CD-ROMs can't be used directly with the apt-cdrom tool, which is why apt is generally used only through the network.

	Apt-Pinning on Debian - SeriosWiki
		I recommend you to have some experience with apt and dpkg in order to be able to resolve any problems this procedure may bring with it.
		The default behavior of apt is to install the package with the highest version number, so by just adding the apt sources, one would pretty much just end up with a lot of packages from unstable by default since they are very likely to have higher version numbers on almost all packages compared to e.g.
		Debian experimental is a branch containing some packages that are not ready for unstable yet for various reasons.

		As far as I know, Debian is the only Linux distribution that has its own constitution (http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution), but what really sold me on it was its phenomenal bug database (http://www.debian.org/Bugs), which is a sort of interactive Doomsday Book of error, fallibility, and redemption.
		Debian installation can be used to create a full-fledged system, but the ideal is to install just the base you need, then apt-get the latest and greatest over the Net.
		Just to recap, the Debian package management system consists of several utilities, of which 'apt-get' is the best known; it allows for seamless updates of individual packages or for a system-wide upgrade of the entire distribution to a newer version.

		If you know how Debian's archive system works, and how to choose the sources that apt-get uses, and use a few precautions in your upgrades, then the chances are that dependency problems will never bedevil you.

	Wine HQ - Wine for Debian based distributions
		Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, utilize a special tool for managing packages known as APT.
		APT is able to automagically install all of the needed dependencies for a software package, as well as keep the package up to date, by scanning what are known as APT repositories.
		Since the APT repository can only hold the latest packages, older versions of the packages are available at the WineHQ.deb packages archive.

	Nick Andrew project: apt-cacher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		If you have two or more Debian GNU/Linux machines on a fast local network and you wish to upgrade packages from the Internet, you don't want to download every package several times.
		When an apt-get client issues a request for a file to apt-cacher.pl, if the file is already on disk it is served to the client immediately, otherwise it is fetched from the Internet, saved on disk, and then served to the client.
		This means that several Debian machines can be upgraded but each package need be downloaded only once.

		When Debian was created, it was deemed necessary that the system include a method of managing the packages installed on the machine.
		Another common use of Debian sources is to adapt a more recent version of a program, from the unstable distribution, for example, for use with the stable distribution.
		In the case of packages made specifically for Debian, the last of these is not downloaded and the first usually won't have `"orig"' in the name.

		Anyway, you don't know well the way that Debian package system works, and you wonder how to install a program in a way where upgrades, dependancies are handled correctly by the system.
		It does nothing magical, it downloads the source package and the diff file containing the debian/ directory in which you will find necessary files to build the package (rules, control, changelog files, etc), it puts them in the build directory, then uncompresses it in the source package and finally patches it with the diff file.
		Note also that apt-build does not invent new packages, and if the software you want to install is not packaged for Debian, apt-build won't be able to download sources from a Debian mirror and compile them (you will have to ask for packaging and wait until it is accepted).

	apt-proxy homepage
		It is useful anywhere where you have more than one Debian machine together on a network which is faster than your internet connection (most networks are).
		Because apt-proxy understands the Debian mirror structure, it is able to manage the mirror directory more efficiently than a general cache such as Squid.
		The packages have been available in Debian unstable for some time but there are still some problems, which have kept apt-proxy out of Sarge for now.

		To setup apt pinning, first, add sources for testing and unstable to /etc/apt/sources.list:
		This increases the size of the cache apt uses to store package informattion, which is necessary in order for it to track the packages from all three distributions:
