使用apt-get下载软件慢的话，可以换成国内的一些源，这样就可以节省很多时间了

修改方法：

1. 先备份系统的源文件，然后编辑源列表文件

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
vi /etc/apt/sources.list

在打开的编辑器中加入以下内容

deb http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
deb http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe
deb http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates universe
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates universe
deb http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse
