We were talking Linux package managers in the office at lunchtime (because that's the kind of cool people we are) and one colleague repeatedly referred to the standard Debian/Ubuntu package manager as A P T (i.e. pronounced "eh pee tee").

I've always called it "apt" pronounced like the word.

So, should it be pronounced:

m'learned colleague has justified their usage of A.P.T. by saying it stands for "Advanced Packaging Tool".

Which sounds suspiciously correct and would mean I've been saying it wrong for literally decades. C'est la vie.
#linux #debian #ubuntu

@losttourist At least that's apt.
