Wow! This is a pretty good idea.
In the software sources program, the Third Party tab can be renamed to
Custom Software Sources or something, and there could be a tab added
where you can check some checkboxes for third party repositories. It
could be called "Extra Repositories" or something. But the only problem
I can think of is that we're always being told, "don't use 3rd party
repositories". I suppose that what we could do is add a not saying
something like, "These repositories are not supported or reccomended by
Cannonical, and are only added here for your conveinience, as they are
commonly used."
My list of repositories, with captions are:
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free #Skype
deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable #nVidia Beta
Drivers (There are various mirrors of this, but I haven't a clue what
they are)
deb http://seveas.theplayboymansion.net/seveas edgy-seveas extras
#Seveas' Extras (There are other mirrors and components of this
repository, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages)
deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main #Beryl (There are mirrors
of this, too)
