Ubuntu users on campus,

Based on some unscientific empirical testing, I've found that 
Northeastern university provides an Ubuntu package mirror that is quite 
fast compared to many others out there, at least for on-campus users.

There's various ways to tell your Ubuntu machine to use their mirror, 
but to keep it brief, my /etc/apt/sources.list now looks like this:

deb http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/archive.ubuntu.com/ edgy main restricted 
universe multiverse

deb http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/archive.ubuntu.com/ edgy-updates main 
restricted universe multiverse

deb http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/archive.ubuntu.com/ edgy-proposed main 
restricted universe multiverse

deb http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/archive.ubuntu.com/ edgy-security universe

(Each entry beginning with 'deb' should be on a single line.)
