Um, even simpler: In any file manager window: Edit > Preferences > Tab

This is a serious problem on the mailing list IMO: advanced users
pulling some long-outdated or unnecessary trick out of their pockets,
instead of showing the most straightforward way. 

I'm sorry to pick on you, you surely aren't the only offender, and I
have been one myself, but it just now ticket me off ;)

So often a newbie shows up and asks "how to I install foo", only to be
told, "open a terminal; vi /etc/apt/sources.list, edit; apt-get update
&& apt-get install foo".
I'm surely not against learning stuff or using the cmd line, and I know
that it is hard to let go of old behavior, but please: point newbies to
the relevant GUI tools in Ubuntu. They are why they use Ubuntu in the
first place.
