Is there an "Official Repositories list"?

[cocotu]

Hi, I'm not very familiar using repositories and selecting the best ones. I've being looking around and I all I see is: "These is not an official repository list, use at your own risk" I wanted to know if there is an official one, is it the one that comes by default with Ubuntu? I was having some trouble getting some packages at home and was getting an error something like "error: repository not valid, expired, could not get all dependencies from <repository>" or something like that, I will post the exact error message when I get home.

Thanks..

Hmmm well there isn't as such, but i use the one at ubuntuguide.org and it works fine, and also check this:
http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/

No Problem, My Pleasure, as long as it helps you, its fine, coz that's everything about Ubuntu, Humity Towards Others ;)
I am what i am because what we all are ;)
Okay give it a shot, and also try the Ubuntuguide.org, the repositeries given there are also quite good and sufficent for a normal user.
