It depends on what OS i'm on. I use yum on FC2/AMD64 (does NOT use 
sources.list) and Synaptic/apt for FC2/i686.

the synaptic app has a nice way of configuring the repositories. It's 
easy to configure.
I'd start there. I'm sure many here will reply with their favorite repos 
from p.c. to freshrpms.net
