I have had my Ubuntu server for a week now, and I'm learning about apt-get and aptitude when installing various packages. I have created hundreds of conflicts when I look at aptitude. I notice that most of them are things like openssh conflicting with opensshi386 for example. There may even be a third or fourth option I could choose to install when I expand the tree in aptitude, that have a similar package name. How do I know which one is correct for me and what is the difference between xxxxxx and xxxxxxi386?
is opening aptitude and navigating to a package the same as typing in apt-get install "package name"?
