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.php?p=631776&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 :
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.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security

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 $):
$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 $) :
$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)
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
In the end users can and should make their own informed decision about what they put in their sources.list. Here are some links to get you started :
