I have to mention that while I was doing this, I decided to set up VNC between two Macs, just to verify the Mac was going to be a VNC client. It was a two minute job, and an Apple support page spelled out every step, correctly and unambiguously. But oddly, nobody nowhere could tell me how to write a URL for the second display. I found it by guessing. (It's vnc://hostname:5901 .)

(Not a rant.) Now that I've gathered all the Linux nerds (and probably infuriated most of you), I have a question. 20+ years ago, I learned to type "apt-get install $package" instead of "apt install". Likewise, I've always used "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of "apt upgrade". I learned those were better, but I've forgotten why if I ever knew. Is apt-get install better than apt install? Was it once? How? Same three questions for apt-get dist-upgrade. Thanks! 12/N #Debian #CompuArchaeology
