I wonder if my etc/apt/sources.list is okay?  It has nothing in it.  Is it 
missing anything?

Also, what does it need to install X and a browser, so I can work on 
figuring stuff out off the web while I'm trying to install stuff?  Right 
now, the best I can do is copy stuff by writing down it's contents, 
restarting to Windows, then typing it all again.
