Go ahead and add some info on apt, if you like. But I'd rather like to see people moving from apt to YaST (if they need a cmdline interface: y2pmsh) and YUM.
I would put info on it, but I do not have enough knowledge. As for cmdline interface, I just do `yast -i package` and that works great. What would be nice would be removal. `yast -e package` for removal of `package`

At this moment apt is still widely used and therefore should have its place on that page. If it is abandoned in the future, we can always remove it again.
apt-rpm is no longer maintained, as the head developer moved along to do smartpm... Regards Christoph
