Looking for more Debian packages?
Try a search at http://www.apt-get.org
Mixing multiple releases
Want to have more than one Debian release (i.e. testing & unstable) in your sources.list file and still track testing?
Create the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01release with the contents:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
Now by default when you apt-get install something, it will be from testing.
If you want to install a package from unstable, you can install it by appending /unstable to the name of the package in your apt-get command line, i.e.:
apt-get install mozilla-firefox/unstable
Gentoo sources
Local Gentoo Portage tree mirrors
Add these to the SYNC= variable in /etc/make.conf (space-separated)
rsync://rsync.rucus.ru.ac.za/gentoo-portage
Local Gentoo distfiles mirrors
Add these to the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable in /etc/make.conf (space-separated)
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/ ftp://ftp.rucus.ru.ac.za/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.up.ac.za/mirrors/gentoo.org/
(These are the ones I'm using. Please add more.)
SuSE sources
SuSE can make use of the apt system by using a specialised version of apt called apt4rpm, and special rpm repositories. You need to download the version of apt that has been modified to handle rpms in order to use the apt4rpm repositories.
Find out more about apt4rpm at http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/.
Find out more about apt4rpm specifically for SuSE at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/.
