    my recommended breezy sources.list

    hi,

    This is the source.list which I recommend for the average desktop user running breezy. I'm advising this as a forum user and not as a staff member.

    The average desktop user has no ppc or amd64. So this sources.list isn't intended for those architectures. For people who have amd64 see this post : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost...6&postcount=65

    It can't hurt to include the src repos in case you might need them later. If you are on a slow internet connection I would advise to remove them.

    If you need BOINC for SETI @ Home please search the forums.

    Not all of these repositories are official. Also using this sources.list is your own risk. That being said here it is :

    Code:
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
    
    ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
    ## distribution.

    To use this sources.list replace your sources.list with this one using your favorite editor do the following command in the terminal (without the $):
    Code:
    $sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    Then do this command to take the new sources.list into effect do the following command in the terminal (without the $) :
    Code:
    $sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
    When a repository in this list has a GPG key, you may need to add that to the APT trusted keys. You can do this with the following commands (replace KEY with the key ID)
    Code:
          gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
          gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

    edit :
    unstickied. I'm not running breezy anymore as well as most Ubuntu users. IMHO you should upgrade to Dapper if you want to use a sources.list recommended by me.
