Hey guys! Lately I have been installing a few new systems, and I find myself looking for a good /etc/apt/sources.list to get all my repos straight. Instead of making a new one every time, you can use something like DebGen from SimplyLinux.CH, but I find that more often than not, I always run into some type of issue with what is generated.

Basically, what I am getting at is, this is my tried and true Debian Squeeze Sources.list so that in the future, I can just reference this page for a Debian Squeeze sources.list that I know works great every time.

I am in Tennessee, which is in the United States, so you will see that I used the debian.oregonstate.edu repo to localize the data transfer for maximum speeds. You can change the settings to reflect a location closer to your ISP’s backbone, which will increase transfer speeds greatly.

Here you go! Here is my Debian Squeeze Sources.list!
