Ubuntu Source-o-matic is the coolest!
For anybody that’s had to try and hand manage their source.list files in apt and has had trouble doing so, there is now an easier way. If you have ever had to hand manage your sources.list file you know how tedious it can get especially when you start seeing errors about not being able to find a package that you want installed.
Well today I discovered that somebody over in ubuntu land solved this problem and is hosting a web page to auto create a sources.list for the probably about 99% of the things a typical user would want installed.
Just point and click selecting the types of software you want made available and use apt-key to authenticate the gpg key for the sources in question and you are good to go.
