Looking for some repositories for Debian Etch


Just looking for some repositories that I can use with Etch or that work with any distro.

When you list the repository please tell me what that repository offers so I know why I'm adding it. Thanks!

This is my current sources.list
Code:
# 
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 DVD Binary-1 20070122-09:12]/ etch contrib main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
# deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ etch main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ experimental main

deb http://apt.cerkinfo.be/ unstable main contrib

Since you don't seem very clear on why one adds new repos to the sources.list file, I would suggest you make yours look like this and leave it alone, until you need a package that Apt can't find.

Code:
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386 DVD Binary-1 20070122-09:12]/ etch contrib main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main

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

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

#deb http://apt.cerkinfo.be/ unstable main contrib
