Configure
sources.list
Here is the /etc/apt/sources.list for a Debian Jessie distribution.
The file is referencing versions names instead of the stable and testing aliases. The reason is that we don't want a massive uncontrolled upgrade on the day of the release of the next stable.

deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
