sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
CTRL-O to save and CTRL-X to exit
You may also learn to use vi. It is quite powerful once you fogure it out.
Leaning vi (or vim) is beyond the scope of this post....

I notice on furums a lot when metioning Vi (Vim), they all say "hard to learn, beyond scope" which is for the most part true. Most forget to mention typing in:
$ vimtutor <enter>
this will bring up a short tutorial for vim, built right into you box. Try it out when you have 30 min. or so to at least learn the basics of Vi.
