"The iPhone (or iPod Touch) is a 667MHz computer (albeit one that is only running at 412MHz) with 128MB of RAM and between 4 and 32 GB of flash. For software, it is running a pared down Mac OS X with its standard compliment of a FreeBSD-based userland over a Darwin kernel. While some people wonder why anyone would attempt to use it as a Unix workstation, to me and many others it seems ludicrous not to."

APT = Advanced Package Tool.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool
apt-get is the command-line front end to this tool.
Apt was developed for Debian and is used by Debian and Debian-derived distributions. It has also been used in some other places, such as part of fink, a mechanism for installing typical *nix apps on MacOSX.
While some may dispute my claim, I hold that apt is the best package installer to be found. It is without question in the highest echelon of package manaegers.
