Hi, hope that was a typo. ^^^^^^ :)

Don't need this, so safe to delete if you want to avoid distractions. :)

This should be okay, but you're missing deb-src for multiverse

Again the same.

They are in comments, but again, if you want to avoid confusion...

Repeated. :)

Looks alright, but you're missing multiverse from deb-src.

Irrelevant now, but commented so don't hurt but would be better to get rid of.

Now this is plain wrong. Missing /ubuntu/ after the domain name.

Don't know. But besides the multiverse cut-outs on a few deb-src, you're
missing out on universe completely. Add it for regular, -updates and
-security, that last of which is on a different subdomain, take notice from
that edgy-security above.

I'm guessing it never got that far. You need to get that sources.list in
order first, then do `sudo apt-get update` which will check whether your
current system is up-to-date or not, `sudo apt-get upgrade` to make it so,
and only then `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` or use update-manager, which is
recommended of course.

It's not a very complicated process, but needs to have a few fundamental
things right for successful upgrade. :)
