Does Debian or Ubuntu have a means of logging apt/aptitude commands?

Question

I could also ask the same about yum commands in Redhat?

Do they have a history file?

Yes, you should look at /var/log/apt/history.log. But you might find more details in /var/log/dpkg.log.

You'll find quite a bit of apt logs under /var/log/apt/

(Not exactly about commands being run. More about actions being taken.)
