目前我已知的更改國內源的方法基本上就兩種，第一種，把/etc/apt/sources.list文件里的源更換一下，改成阿里雲或者其它源。第二種，更換在設置中software&updates(軟件和更新)里的select best server，可以改成aliyun、ustc、163等，下面主要介紹第一種。
1 更換/etc/apt/sources.list文件里的源
1.1 備份源列表
Linux配置的默認源並不是國內的服務器，下載更新軟件都比較慢。
首先備份源列表文件sources.list：
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup #備份源列表
1.2 打開sources.list文件修改
選擇合適的源，替換原文件的內容，保存編輯好的文件, 可以分別測試阿里雲、清華、中科大、163源的速度，選擇其中最快的:
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list # 打開sources.list文件
編輯/etc/apt/sources.list文件, 在文件最前面添加鏡像源:

上面的鏡像源選擇其中一個就行，多了無益。
1.3 刷新列表
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
下載速度瞬間就起飛了。
