Doh!!!  sorry, what I should have said is that apt is 'normally' a
Debian or Debian derivative way of installing packages.  I think there
are a few none Deb distro's that have adopted apt (or synaptic from a
GUI).  Red Hat/Fedora based distro's use RPM (Red Hat Package Manager)
I can't remember what the others use as I've been using Mint for a few
years now.
