    Help needed adding more repositories

    How do I enable all the repositories for Edgy? Adept's default repo list looks incomplete since it lacks the major repositories in which stuff like Mplayer and the like are found. I am aware of Canonical's policy of including only free speech repositories and why they do it. But it seems like every time I do a reinstall or an upgrade to a *buntu distro, I have to hunt for an apt-get command somewhere out there in the far corners of the Web reached by Google search for me to copy and paste into Konsole. Is there any place that lists all the *buntu repos and updated regularly?

      That's a good guide there and it's update recently too it looks like.

      I'd also add the repo for the latest wine too if you use it.

      And for the latest kde or related packages watch kubuntu.org or just use the *-latest entries like:
      deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest edgy main
      deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/koffice-latest edgy main
      deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest edgy main
