After getting a couple of errors consistently with UK (gb)sources I
decided to change to the Netherlands (nl), and my new source.list is:

# Automatically generated sources.list
# http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
#
# If you get errors about missing keys, lookup the key in this file
# and run these commands (replace KEY with the key number)
#
# gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
# gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

Why does the gb archive still appear? and whats the difference between
apt-get and aptitude?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!!
