Apt-get was one of the main reasons I switched from RedHat to Debian.
The deb packaging system, the variety of packages available, the
commitment of debian developers to packages that work well together, and
the social contract were the others.

Maintaining a server running stable is easy - just apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade does the job for you.
