+!!New Zealand sources.list for apt(8) on [Debian] and Ubuntu
apt's behaviour is moulded by files in /etc/apt: apt.conf(5) tells apt how to behave, and (more importantly) sources.list(5) tells apt where to look for packages. There are two types of entries in this file, __deb__ lines, referring to Debian binary package repositories, and __deb-src__ lines, for source packages. Unless you want to compile packages yourself from Debian sources, you can usually remove the deb-src lines from your config and save some time downloading headers.
If you're running a production server, or don't need bleeding edge, your lines should read

+Synaptic does a very nice job of managing your ubuntu sources list. You can add the universe and multiverse repositories with a few mouseclicks, and even add non-standard repositories without leaving the GUI.

+The following sources.list will give you access to all of the officially supported packages in Ubuntu from the New Zealand mirrors.

-Swap out warty
with whatever distro you use
.
-Note
: This ubuntu part was
a quick addition
and more details are probably required.
+
+Easyubuntu and automatix scripts have an option to update your sources.list too. Use this option
with caution because it quite often screws up
.
+
+There's also [Source-O-Matic|http
://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic] which will build you a sources list using the official, and some of the better-known unofficial repositories.
This has always worked very well for me, and is
a quick and easy way to get back to a working config if you let easyubuntu or automatix break it :-)
