Ok, I have been seriously trying to get my source.list down to an acceptable listing, I have installed apt-spy, and gone through the "north-america" area, on "stable", "unstable", and "testing" - getting the best benchmarks on the sites...

Funny thing is that for all three of these distributions, I come up with a single site to go after...

Now the questions:
(1) Should I be going after all three of these in my source list? (or should I just go after a single one?)

(2) I am guessing I want to do a "apt-get update" before I make the source.list changes, and should "probably" do one AFTER I make the changes, am I missing something???

(3) I am interested in finding out "exactly" where this site that has come up with higher through-put is actually at... Where would I go to find out where a site is at??? The site that had the best benchmark was ftp.egr.msu.edu -=- I am guessing that this is a Univeristy, signified by the msU, and that it fits with the "edu" for an EDUcational facility... I recall that someplace had a listing of "apt-get" sites, times and days and requirements for the site access, etc... But, apt-get.com doesn't appear to be it...

Any help, and I think I can put the beaten to death horse (apt-get) into the grave (finally)...
