My apt pointer to the VirtualBox repository is in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list Which contains the following: # Sun xVM VirtualBox deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian etch non-free Obviously I'm still on etch. For lenny your file would be slightly different. This allows you to keep logical separation between between official Debian repositories and third party repositories. I'd probably call it a "best practice." -- Chris
