Not that installing from source is difficult, but I try to find a repository for apps if I can. Apt/Synaptic is what makes Debian so great.
So here is my sources.list . Please share yours, especially if you have any sweet apps.
I run Debian Sid/Sidux. Here is my sources.list as of 12-01-2007.
I have access to over 25,000 packages.
Make sure you do not have any non-us repositories listed as they were made obsolete when Sarge became stable. Adobe Flash and Sun's Java are in Debian's non-free. For more sources try searching
http://www.apt-get.org
The AMD-64 repositories from Debian are now in the normal Sid repos.
I run Debian Sid/sidux, however this list covers Stable, Testing and Sid please use only the repos that apply to your release. Please do not mix releases unless you know what you are doing and use apt-pinning if you choose to do so. This list covers pretty much everything including the kitchen sink, only use repos that you trust and uses as few as you need, especially when doing an apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade. Also do not mix the use of aptitude and apt, pick one and stick with it.
