[plug] Ubuntu Repositries - Setting up of

[Joel Johnson]

Hi folks, have just started using Ubuntu and have a question regarding 
setting up the repositories. Having come from Redhat/Mandrake, the setup 
of the repositories seem a little more involved.

I've located the Mirrors at http://mirror.pacific.net.au and set up 
warty, warty-updates, warty-security distributions (both deb and deb-src 
for each) by duplicating the default US-based entries (and then 
disabling these US-based mirrors). Seems to be working correctly.

What I'd like to know is what the differences are between the different 
sections? The Help file hints at this section and then directs to a web 
page on Debian that doesn't seem to even mention anything about it. And 
can't find anything within Ubuntu's FAQ's on the website either.

And thanks to Bernard for handing out the CDs for Ubuntu at the Xmas 
get-together. Seems to work a lot faster than Mandrake 10 did on my 
PIII-800Mhz laptop. Might even go a Custom install on my home machine 
and remove Mandrake from there as well.
