安装好ubuntu 12.04之后，可以联网之后，马上要做的最重要的事情之一就是配置更新源列表，这样以后安装更新或者软件才可以获得较好的下载速度。
首先，备份一下原来的源地址列表文件
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
然后进行修改
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
可以在里面添加资源地址，我是直接覆盖掉原来的。
添加好后保存，再输入 sudo apt-get update 就可以更新了，等着慢慢下载东西吧。我虽然选了一个网易的和一个中科大的源，无奈那天网速不给力，还是花了差不多两个小时。
下面是网上找到的一些较好的源，有大型网站的，也有教育网的，可以根据自己的情况添加两三个即可。
#网易的源（速度很快）

备注说明:
我选用的是网易的源，更新源列表之后，执行命令: sudo apt-get update 出现报错失败
原因是不能联网，通过执行命令: ping www.baidu.com 可验证，需要添加 DNS
hhk@ubuntu:~$ sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
