\marginnote{\textbf{Building applications from source} is an advanced process for creating packages, and usually only concerns developers. You may also require source files when using a custom \gls{kernel}, or if trying to use the latest version of an application before it is released for Ubuntu. As this is a more advanced area, it will not be covered in this manual.}

Ubuntu grants permission to many servers all across the world to act as \emph{mirrors}. That is, they host an exact copy of all the files contained in the official Ubuntu repositories. In the \tab{Ubuntu Software} tab, you can select the server that will give you the best possible download speeds.

\textbf{Connection speed}. Depending on the physical distance between you and a server, the connection speed may vary. Ubuntu provides a tool for selecting the server that provides the fastest connection with your computer. \subitem First, click the dropdown box next to ``Download from:'' in the \window{Software Sources} window, and select \button{Other} from the menu. In the \window{Server Selection} window that appears, click the \button{Select Best Server} button in the upper right. Your computer will now attempt a connection with all the available servers, then select the one with the fastest speed. If you are happy with the automatic selection, click \button{Choose Server} to return to the \window{Software Sources} window.

\textbf{Location}. Choosing a server that is close to your location will often provide the best connection speed. \subitem To select a server by country, choose your location in the \window{Server Selection} window. If there are multiple servers available in your location, select one then click \button{Choose Server} when you are finished.

This needs to be reworded - dropping for now. --jaminday \item \textbf{Security}. This should not concern you at all, as Canonical ensures the third party servers are trustworthy. However, if you still think you might be at risk with just any server, you could select one of the Ubuntu secure servers, such as the \textbf{Main server} or the \textbf{http://ubuntu.securedservers.com} server.

Finally, if you do not have a working internet connection, Ubuntu can install some software packages straight from your installation \acronym{CD}. To do this, insert the disc into your computer's \acronym{CD} drive, then select the check box next to \button{Installable from the \acronym{CD-ROM}/\acronym{DVD}}. Once this check box is ticked, the disc will be treated just like an online repository, and applications will be installable straight from the \acronym{CD} through the \application{Software Center}.

Not sure about this bit - probably needs to be fleshed out some more for next release --jaminday

\textbf{Official repositories}, the standard method of downloading software. By getting software through the official repositories you ensure that your software is free of viruses or any other malware, that it is stable, and that it works with Ubuntu.
|
|
|
However, it is very rare to find a malicious third-party repository.
Wolter: Does this make PPAs look bad? The embedded comment makes it look to long, but I could uncomment it, if necessary.
\item \textbf{Building from source}, which consists in downloading
applications' source code files and building them yourself in your computer.
This task is considered rather advanced, hence not explained.

\textbf{Third-party repositories} that you can add to expand your software sources. These repositories are not as reliable as the official ones: the repository maintainer can put whatever they want into them. There is no solid guarantee that the software inside them is secure, stable, or that it works with your system. Read more instructions on this matter at \seclink{sec:software-sources}.

\textbf{Installers / deb packages} that you can download from software websites, \acronym{CD}s, \acronym{USB} drives, etc. This method is the most insecure of all. You should only obtain software this way when you trust the source. If you are new to Ubuntu, then you are probably accustomed to obtain software this way as it's similar to .exe files in Windows.
