-====== Sources.list ======+====== sources.list ====== 
 +For people using Debian---especially new users---it can be confusing to have the proper and correct entries in the ''/etc/apt/sources.list''.
  
-This is my ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' which grew during the past few yearsMaybe it'll be helpful for you.+You should---of course---use a [[http://www.debian.org/mirror/list|Debian mirror]] that is not too far away from you. The examples below contain the generic mirrors where you have to replace "XX" by your language/country codeFurthermore, replace CODENAME by the version you are running, you can find all available codenames on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases|Debian website]].
  
-You should---of course---use a [[http://www.debian.org/mirror/list|Debian mirror]] that is not too far away from youThe examples below contain the generic mirrors where you have to replace "XX" by your language code.+I also used to have the entries for [[http://deb-multimedia.org/|Marillat]] packages by default but decided to remove themThey become less and less relevant (for me) and change too much in the base system which makes it difficult to impossible to remove them again. If you still wish to use those, feel free to use them of course. For instructions see the [[http://deb-multimedia.org/|Deb Multimedia]] website.
  
-If you use a notebookmake sure to also read [[misc:Power_Management|these instructions]] and enable TLP in your sources.list!+Because users usually do not do development, I left out the ''deb-src'' entries. If you need the sourcesjust duplicate all entries and replace the starting ''deb'' with ''deb-src'' in the duplicates.

-If you are using fast-moving packages like ClamAV you should also enable the 'jessie-updates' repository. And for firmware files (sometimes necessary in servers) you should add the "non-free" section as well.+==== Bookworm and newer ====

-===== Wheezy ===== +
-<WRAP round tip> +
-Although the official support for Wheezy will end in april 2016, you can still get security support for Wheezy by adding the ''wheezy-lts'' repository. However, this works only for the i386 and amd64 architectures and will be maintained until may 2018. +
-</WRAP>+
  
-Because of the by now very old software available in Wheezy I do no longer recommend to use Wheezy on a desktop.+### Software Updates

-==== For servers ==== +==== Bullseye and older ==== 
-<code bash> +Because many servers need the firmware for hardware to function properly, I added the ''non-free'' by default hereIf you are running Debian virtualized, the ''non-free'' can be remowed.
