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``.
