[ubuntu-studio-users] General ("newbie") question about repositories

[brian at linuxsynths.com]

Hi Ralf, 

thanks for your answers. Could I ask, are you (or others
reading this email) able to install FstHost and run it? I was able to
use it just fine on previous Ubuntu versions, and can't figure out why
it doesn't run on 16.04. If you would like to try it to see if you can
get it to run, FstHost is available at SourceForge HERE [3]  

Thanks!

Also, if I add an external repository, do I risk losing packages
available in the current repos?
