Well, since last night am (remotely) helping out my friend who has Ubuntu Hoary installed.
Now I understand that ubuntu has its own packages repositories and stuff.So as am new to Ubuntu, does Ubuntu provide me all the packages of say from debian or testing automatically.
Or should I have get a mix and match of ubuntu, debian testing or unstable packages with pining.
Please pardom me if my query is not so clear.

I use Debian Unstable, Debian Experimental, Ubuntu Hoary and a couple of other special APT sources in my sourcs.list. This is what I use for Ubuntu:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe multiverse
I believe Ubuntu provided pretty much the same stuff as Debian though sometimes its quicker than Debian to update its stuff. Eg. OpenOffice.org Version 2 has been in Ubuntu for quite some time. Also Ubuntu has a more relaxed policy w.r.t. the sort of packages that can go into its repository - as compared to DFSG.
Hope this helps, Abhas.

Cool,Abhas Thanks
Just added that line to my sources.list and did apt-get update.I ended up with this error.
####Apt-get update Error ##### Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing oroborus (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary_universe_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
###################################################################################### Wonder whether I have to increase my apt cache limit, currently its(APT::Cache-Limit 10000000).Darn, isn't that enough ;o<
Or its just some conflict with oroborus package.

I agree, but what kind of Pin-Priority you have, do you give more priority to Debian (unstable,experimental) packages or Ubuntu's vice versa or just use individual package priority (for example, use OO package from Ubuntu rather than debian).Can you post your apt preference file.
Hope this helps,
You bet.
Cheers, hope am not asking for a lot.
