Yes but you _will_ break your installation. If you absolutely must enable
3rd party repos be sure that they are for ubuntu (and for your version of

The problem with this approach ist that you will for sure be in trouble if
you are installing a package that needs a new libc (or some base lib for X)
that get's pulled in automatically.

You might want to try that in a virtual machine :)
