+\frametitle{The \textbf{A}dvanced \textbf{P}ackaging \textbf{T}oolkit}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item DPKG is the mechanism to install the package itself. APT will keep track of
+the dependencies and so on...
+\item Consists of several tools:
+\item apt-get
+\item apt-cache
+\item ...

+Repository list is kept in:
+\begin{verbatim}
+/etc/apt/sources.list
+\end{verbatim}
+The repository list looks like:
+\begin{verbatim}
+deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian lenny \
+      main contrib non-free
+deb-src http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian lenny \

+\begin{itemize}
+\item aptitude
+\item synaptic
+\end{itemize}
