hey all... quick question about apt-get. obviously it has to go out to the internet and to grab packages, info, etc. Does anyone know which port(s) apt-get uses to accomplish this? I'm getting ready to use Craig's big source.list to do some updating and installing (up to this point I've been using my CDs)

I just wanted to be sure that my firewall is apt-get friendly :D

thanks

i think it uses FTP (port 21), i specified ftp source lists and it had no problem with my firewall.
