Ubuntu Mirror System

There are two types of mirrors of Ubuntu: package archive mirrors, which mirror the packages that make up the distribution, including regular security update packages and release-cd-only mirrors.

Package Archive Mirror Setup

The master package archive is available from:

An apt sources.list entry would look like this:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main

Besides 'main', there are also 'restricted', 'universe' and 'multiverse' archives, which provide additional non-free and/or unsupported software packages. See http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components/ for more information.

Note that we don't have automatic mirror setup software in Warty, but this will be a feature goal for Hoary. Users of Hoary should automagically discover their nearest / best package mirror and use that.
