Debia repositories

Hello guys,I just installed Debian and i got a major problem with repositories.There is only the default repository installed, so if u know any unofficial but trusted repository i could install you could give me a great help !

i'll post my stable server's sources.list file

Code:



# 



deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free



deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ squeeze main



deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free



# sid-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

deb http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/linux/debian/ squeeze-updates main

deb-src http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/linux/debian/ squeeze-updates main

May I ask what actually your major problem with the main repositories is?

thank you very much ! Btw i got a problem with install ssh now xD im using apt-get install openssh-client and get an error that openssh-client has not an installation candidate.
Tried to do it with both apt-get and dpk -i ssh_blabla.deb ^^

May be we can help with your issues if you actually show us your sources.list.

1) Use Synaptic to find the fastest server. Synaptic>Settings>Repositories. In the first page "Debian Software" click Download from and change it to Other ---then hit the Select Best Server button.

2) Have a look at Debian Sources List Generator - http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/

This has served me well in the past. :D

If you are concerned with stability then I would stick with squeeze repositories.
