不同的网络状况连接以下源的速度不同，所以cn99并不一定是最快的源。建议在 添加前手动验证以下源的连接速度(ping下就行)，比如说北京网通用户连接cn99就非常慢，而ftp.sjtu.edu.cn是相对较快的源，选择最 快的源可大大节省下载时间，请根据自己网络环境设置更新服务器，以达到最快的速度。（经试验，执行下文中需要的apt-get命令或使用《新立得软件包管 理器》时，必须更改了默认的更新服务器才可以使用，否则可能找不到很多安装包，或者安装包版本低。）
注意，你可以同时加入几个源。或者将官方的源(也就是下面的Archive.ubuntu.com的条目)直接加在文件的最后，以避免出现 404 Not Found 文件未发现 的错误。
在终端执行以下命令（第一条是备份现有服务器列表，第二条是使用Gedit编辑，您也可以使用自己喜爱的编辑器编辑，如nano，kate，vim等。）
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
从以下各服务器列表内容中选择一段替换文件中的所有内容（请根据自己网络环境设置更新服务器，以达到最快的速度。）
