Ubuntu repositories

Hi!

I'm using Ubuntu for a while now, but most of the time I want to install something using apt-get, it isn't in my package list. What are good repositories to add to my list, so that I can easily install more packages?
Thanks!

Have you enabled the "world" or "universe" repository? Check the repository list in Synaptic - it's not enabled by default.

Replace warty with hoary to get to the real jackpot. Just don't blame anybody but yourself it your shit breaks.

Thanks for your replies! I'm going to take a look to that Unoffical Guide. But I'm not sure if I have the universe or world repositorie enabled. How can I check that?
Thanks!
