system proxy

[Jason OConnell]

The easiest way I've found is to edit your .bashrc and add the line:

export http_proxy=http://<your_proxy_server>:<port>

Then, source .bashrc (or logout and back in).

You can also make the change to /etc/apt/apt.conf, but there are other apps
that use http_proxy as well.
