Paul, thank you very much

0.5.30 seems pretty old in comparison to 0.4.13 (not that I know a lot 
about the differences, only judging from the version number)..
but if I do decide to go with aptitude / apt-get, will 0.4.13 then get 
upgraded by aptitude to the next version? what's the philosophy there.. 
is there always a few months lag between latest and supported version?

and because this is not the latest version of ubuntu, does that matter? 
6.06 is LTS (long-term support) however..

thank you in advance!

PS: I also didn't know it's better to use aptitude versus apt-get .. 
thank you for that tip as well.

David
