Ha!  If you think aptitude is non-intuitive, you should try dselect!  I don't 
really like either, but aptitude is better.  I generally only use apt-get, 
but you have to know what you are looking for.

What kind of problems are you having?

You might try synatptic

apt-get install synaptic

as root.  It is a gtk-gui frontend to aptitude.

Stick with it.  You'll get the hang of it.  The difficulty of learning linux, 
for me at least, was like a negative exponential.  It started out really 
hard, then hard, but then the difficulty tied down really fast.

After a few weeks I knew I was hooked.  I haven't looked back in years.
