Well, I would like to replace aptitude with apt-get in /etc/fai/NFSROOT

can you test this? 

Replace in /etc/fai/NFSROOT the name "aptitude" with "install"

Rational:

	As Ubuntu still stays with apt-get, we should at least try to use the
installed by default utilities. I don't know the status of aptitude
inside Ubuntu (I don't use aptitude myself), but having Michael Vogt on
board of the Canonical ship, I think it would better to stay with
apt-get and not aptitude.
	
This is my personal opinion, and this is Ubuntu only.
