It hasn't been updated since August 2nd and many of the links aren't working anymore..
Are they just writing the Breezy guide or...? :/

My experience is that it generally works, but some of the repository information is a little outdated. w32codecs and libdvdcss2, among a couple of other things, have been taken out of the universe repositories, and the backports mirrors are gone.
In the meantime (until it gets updated), I've created this page:
http://www.psychocats.net/sources.html
to replace
http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
I don't know when/if it's going to be updated, though.

Or better yet, refer to the Ubuntu 5.10 Starter Guide in Yelp by clicking on System -> Help.
It does not contain the legally-questionable stuff though, but the starter guide is always open for suggestions.
