安装LinuxMint 13之后应该做的5件事

1. 配置网络连接

点击右下角Panel中的网络连接图标，打开网络设置(Network Settings)，选择有线或无线网络，点击"Options..."按钮修改网络连接参数

2. 更新源

LinuxMint13基于Ubuntu 12.04，而这两者的默认源都在国外，速度太慢，因此将源修改为国内源。修改方法如下：

2.1. 备份源列表

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

2.2. 编辑源列表

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2.3. 修改源

在打开的文件中，修改源，将以下内容（可能只有其中一部分）：

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

修改为网易源：

deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

或者搜狐源：

deb http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirrors.sohu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

2.3. 刷新源列表

sudo apt-get update

PS：有关源设置的更多信息请参照 http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/源列表

3. 安装中文支持

点击菜单(Menu)，在搜索框中输入"Language"，打开搜索到的语言支持(Language Support)，点击"Install/Remove Languages..."按钮，找到"Chinese(simplified)，勾选其后的复选框，应用设置即可

4. 安装输入法

在Software Manager中，搜索ibus和ibus-pinyin，安装即可，也可以使用命令：

sudo apt-get update

还可以安装ibus-googlepinyin和ibus-sunpinyin，个人比较喜欢ibus-pinyin

5. 安装显卡驱动

在菜单中找到 Additional Drives，然后选择一个驱动，点击"Active"即可开始安装显卡驱动
