Debian Package Repositories
---------------------------
-All Debian based systems use APT_ as package
-management tool. The list of repositories is defined in
-``/etc/apt/sources.list`` and ``.list`` files found in the
-``/etc/apt/sources.d/`` directory. Updates can be installed directly with
-the ``apt`` command line tool, or via the GUI.
-
-APT_ ``sources.list`` files list one package repository per line, with
-the most preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored and a
-``#`` character anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a
-comment. The information available from the configured sources is
-acquired by ``apt update``.
