About to give up(again) with Linux!

[David Andrew]

The error message I get with synaptic is:

Could not download all repository indexes

The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted
because of network problems. If available an older version of the
failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored.
Check your network connection and the correct writing of the
repository address in the preferences
