apt/sources.list for my ubuntu 10.04 64 bit refers to fe. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted Kubuntu (ubuntu with KDE desktop) 10.04 32 bit and Xubuntu 10.04 (with XFCE4) point to the same repositories. >From older versions, I remember similar names containing ubuntu and the codename (hardy, dapper, etc).
