Synaptic is just a GUI frontend to various commandline apt programs. 
Apt repositories are listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.  You can just add 
entries to this file using your text editor of choice.  To get any 
available updates, from a terminal type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

For more information, 'man apt-get'.
