[Discuss] Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Debian Repositories

[Steve Nelson]

I haven't run into any problems with any media working using Kubuntu 7.10 and 
the following apt sources list:

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

## repository.
