    Repository Updates

    Where can I go to update and modify my repository. This is my theory, I am running Ubuntu 6.10 and I noticed that when I run updates or it asks me for updates it gets them from somewhere. I think it gets them from maybe an update server. (Please correct me if I am wrong). Well, what if I want to choose the server I want to get my updates from? Can I do that? Any advice will be helpful.

    You can change it in system > administration > software sources, or editing the /etc/apt/sources.list by hand has the same result.

    Is there somewhere I can go to get a new repository list. Also was I correct on the update server? Thanks for the info.

    Yes it gets the updates from an update server and in software sources the server can be changed. For a fresh sources.list check this page. LINK
