For more than two month I use the sources.list for Ubuntu 8.10 that I found on this site: http://www.sourceslist.netsons.org
There are sources.list for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, ect..
There is also a search engine to find repositories (repo-finder).
What do you think about it? Is the site reliable?

it looks alright, just has LOTS of extra repo's added for lots of different individual programs. just depends whether you want all of them.

yes, there are loads of extra repo's that will get you much more upto date stuff.

there is nothing wrong with the sources.list there, just personally i would rather start with the standard n build it up rather than have a massive one to trim down.

makes no difference though.
