Default Ubuntu Sources.List
The Ubuntu sources.list is where your F2H VPS instances get the latest updates and security fixes directly from Ubuntu. The sources list can change from time to time but it is also useful to keep a record of the default sources. That’s just in case we need to revert back to it.
The sources below are the default file shipped by Ubuntu. They should be located at /etc/apt/sources.list. You can download these sources list’s direct to your server using the wget -p command. Or, view the in your browser. Most of the Ubuntu versions on this page are LTS versions. For different versions please see the Ubuntu website.
