My Favourite Ubuntu Repository

6:44 AM | Posted by GC-Soft | Edit Post




Sometimes we need to update our linux system from the internet but the update took so long we canceled them and hopefully we could try next time when the internet connection a bit better.

Actually we don't have to wait for a better connection. When we tried to update to the internet, usually it would go to the default repository.

We could always change the repository in the /etc/apt/sources.list to the nearest repository to our location so we could get more fast reply as well.

In Indonesia, there are several repository to choose but my favourite is www.kambing.ui.edu

They also have repository for other linux system such as fedora, mandriva, debian, etc.

To add the repository to your system :

1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list in the console/terminal
2. Add this line at the bottom of the list :

For Ubuntu 7.10 :

deb http://kambing.ui.edu/ubuntu gutsy main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://kambing.ui.edu/ubuntu gutsy-updates main restricted multiverse universe


For Ubuntu 7.04 :

deb http://kambing.ui.edu/ubuntu feisty main restricted multiverse universe
deb http://kambing.ui.edu/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted multiverse universe

3. Save the file
4. Still in the console or terminal, run : apt-get update

Now you can install and update all your system files in ubuntu.
