Hi Steef,
I prefer wajig to other package tools because:
1. It has a cli.
2. You can enter a wajig environment (with the prompt wajig> ) without
having to repeat wajig infront of every command.
3. on doing wajig>update it tells you how many upgrades you may have (with
aptitude you get no info after updating).
4. wajig's search is more exhaustive than aptitude's (sometimes this is not
a benefit)
Cheers,
Jonathan

wajig is more than just an apt-get replacement. (In fact, wajig
*uses* apt-get.) It's more of a kitchen sink. (Is that an
Americanism.)
Attached is a list of all the things you can do with wajig.
