using other distro's repos?

[anthony baldwin]

Is it possible to enable repos from other .deb based distros?
For instance, would it be possible...or, perhaps, rather, would it
work, to add, for instance, Mepis repos to my apt sources list, or linux 
mint (I know
they use ubuntu repos)?
We can use actual Debian repos, no?



I'm also wondering if on an rpm based distro, if one can add repos from 
other distros.
(ie, say you are using PCLOS, can you add fedora repos?)

Would this be potentially detrimental?
Should I be asking this on the apt-rpm  or apt lists?
Do I ask too many silly questions?
What color socks are you wearing?

(Hey, at least I'm not writing upside down...)

thanks
tony
