It'll be commented out with a #
put a # where the "stable" sources are and remove the # in front of the "testing" sources.

The file you are looking for is:

/etc/apt/sources.list

A simple UNIX trick to find any file (if now in a protected directory is)

du -a / | fgrep <name of file with no blank spaces here>

This will search your entire tree for a file.  Note that fgrep cannot use wild card characters like * or ?

Cheers,
Freitag :)

I'm sorry, this is probably really easy.  How do i edit and save the file after using the vi command.  The file says it is read only when I try to access it in a text editor.

Thanks,
Louis
