I'm curious about my sources.list. In Software Sources I have security, updates, proposed, and backports all checked. But my sources.list looks like this:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release amd64 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
## 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
## team.
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe
## 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

## security team.
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-updates multiverse
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'backports'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository may not have been tested as
## extensively as that contained in the main release, although it includes
## newer versions of some applications which may provide useful features.
## Also, please note that software in backports WILL NOT receive any review
## or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository. This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is
## offered by Canonical and the respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu
## users.
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-security main restricted
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-security universe
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-security multiverse
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-backports restricted main multiverse universe
deb http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
As you can see, the backports lines appear to be commented out. I guess I'm just not quite sure how to read this file... help?
Thanks!
