Sounds like Debian.

If you have a GUI it shoudld be under System->Administration->Software
Sources

For command line it's in /etc/apt/sources.list

Depends on what you want to change. The latest squid packages are only
in testing or unstable repositories. In sources.list change URL words
'stable' to 'testing' and running
   apt-get update
then
   apt-get install squid

(to stay on stabel but with new squid):
   edit sources.list again to remove your changes.
   run apt-get update all over again.

BE AWARE: the package manager is likely to upgrade many package squid
depends on from the testing repository. Once you have non-'stable'
software installed the packaging system does not like to downgrade them
so removal may be an issue.

For the record I've found very few problems running a server on just the
software in Debians official testing repositories. Only once a year or
so the bug none else has hit yet.
