Sample sources.list file

Debian Linux systems use the apt package management. The configuration files for this are to be found in the directory /etc/apt. The file sources.list is used to tell apt where to look for the available packages. Given below is an example sources.list file, which combines that given for knoppix 3.9 with some other resources.
