Hi all
What's the difference between the following two commands?
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
Both work OK. If I use tasksel I need to install that first, so when setting up a LAMP server on a new server, it's one less task to use apt-get install.
Or is the apt-get install sort of invoking tasksel in some way?
I also don't really know what the point of the caret is. Apt-get reports package not found without it - is the caret part of the package name, or is it something to do with using apt-get to install packages?
Comments appreciated!
