How-To Add a Debian Repository. Package Management Debian and Debian based distributions (Linspire, Xandros, Ubuntu, and Mepis to name a few) use a tool called APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) to manage all software on the system.

APT checks to ensure that all necessary packages are available prior to installing a program and also prevents the accidental deletion of a package if another program is dependent upon it. All available software is stored in a repository. Your distribution comes with some default repositories that are already setup, but these contain only a portion of the freely available software out there waiting for you.
