I'll add this page to this discussion (https://www.debian.org/security/) only because repositories can be confusing for new windows converts, and other packages in cutting edge OS Ubuntu can easily ruin a Linux Lite installation if installed from the terminal. Adding repos to synaptic in future releases of your wonderful distro is a can of worms for ordinary windows users. So called "security" updates, which are really just system hardening changes must preferably be available from an in house mirror and be distro specific if you intend to use an automatic updater in the future. Microsoft provided its ordinary users with no choices, other than to refuse downloaded updates. Automatically providing too many choices could become a problem to new windows converts defeating the purpose of your clean light easily understood trusty based distro. Leaving certain repos out of synaptic is not harmful. Questions can be answered and repos added afterwards from a point of correct understanding and praxis. I like this distro so much, I consider it almost a public service.
