Mounster sources.list

Craig - If you're reading this, do you think that you might be able to look into doing a version of your monster sources.list for use with the new Debian testing distro?

It now has entries for stable, testing, and unstable. If you want to run stable, comment out the testing and unstable lines -- and all the other weird developmental stuff in the file. For testing, just comment out the unstable entries.

Actually, depending on how you configure your sources.list, there are actually FIVE Debian distributions now rather than three:

1. Stable - JUST put the stable archive in your sources.list. There's no reason to do this though. Read on.
2. Stable + security updates - Put the stable archive and the security updates archive in your sources.list. This should be your bare minimum, there's no reason NOT to download the security updates.
3. Stable + proposed updates - Put the stable archive and the proposed updates archive in your sources.list. This'll give you something in between Stable and Testing, for those who are cautious but don't want their software to be too out of date.
4. Testing - this is Unstable, but on a two-week delay to detect and filter out showstopper bugs and security issues.
5. Unstable - uncut and raw. This can get ugly.

Thanks! There's deb archive sites for the Matrox utah GLX drivers, but they tend to be very unstable and move around a good deal. When I get the new URLs, I'll post them here.
