I have my standard "workstation/play machine" /etc/apt/sources.list
posted. I run experimental mostly. Even on my Wife's and my kid's
computers (2 kids - 2 computers) and my Firewall and my "OGG" server /
file-server.

Here is the location of it:

I guarantee you'll be happy with that set. A Bit of an explanation as
well at the top of it. Just remember YMMV. I am very cautious about
upgrades and dist-upgrade (of which I do daily) If things look dodgy to
me, I look at WHY a package is to be removed... I really don't care
about NEW installs or upgrades just the removes... which usually means
KEY packages are missing or not yet submitted. I am usually able to side
step MOST problems without fsck'ing up GNOME or KDE (which I don't use
KDE typically).

Just remember the APT is strong with you... use it wisely...
