But do you want us to teach 'rocket science' to newly migrated Linux users? :/ I fail to understand this point of yours. And the word "mainly" is the key if you can read properly. :) Regarding apt and dpkg, that thing has been corrected. The mistake happened due to the flow of typing. Thanx for suggesting the corrections. There is no need of being arrogant. Just politely suggest the corrections. :/ We are proud of the fact that we are making effort to spread what we know about Linux. :) @Sayan Chakrabarti

We've corrected those. BTW it takes lots of efforts to make a post and considering the arrogance you've shown in your remarks (couple of lines have been removed), one can easily realize how newbies are treated in Linux World. And secondly, you can realize from the other comments in this post that it did help many other people. Thanx Mr.Sayan for suggesting the corrections. We’ve corrected those.

There are certainly not just 3 types of packages in the linux world! Also, apt is NOT the short form for aptitude. Aptitude is just one of the many alternative frontends to dpkg, the most common one being called apt-get. The “Installing softwares & Packages” is full of incorrect and confusing information.

We had actually planned to tell about this later to the people. Yea, gksu/gksudo are to be used with Graphical applications.

I think since many apps can be handled using terminal so using sudo becomes almost the same :razz: Will keep that in mind…!!!

It's not preferred to use sudo with graphical applications. Use gksudo instead.. sudo should be limited to applications running within the terminal. Nice Tutorial….
