I am not sure of the details why, but now that the "apt" command is available, the docs recommend using it for interactive use, and "apt-get" for use in scripts.  You'll be okay using apt-get. I just wanted to point out that recommendation and the fact that some people seem to think apt is more user friendly. I don't understand that, but oh well.

I completely forgot this was Ubuntu and not Debian when I wrote that. I don't know what the situation is in Ubuntu with regard to apt-get/apt.
