I keep hearing these horror stories of going from dapper to edgy. I've

All of them were "desktop" installations with the usual mess of binary
drivers, restrictced codecs, etc. I think the key is not to use third-party
repos and ugly hacks like automatix. They may make things "easier", but I
have yet to see one that is put together by someone who knows what they are
doing well enough to not cause serious breakage in other areas.
What is a "third party repo"? Perhaps I should just ask: what is a
repo?
