cache for packages
I have four or five machines running linux on our local network. Can someone point me to the easy instructions for setting up a cache of packages on one system, so that if packages are already on a local machine, they won't be ftped again?
It's a tribute to Debian GNU/Linux that, running sid on these machines, which were disconnected for some six to seven months, three so far have upgraded without a single major problem using apt-get and aptitude. Aptitude has worked, when apt-get didn't. Thanks to everyone from a long time use, who never "got it" as far as developing packages. (Too busy teaching and doing science).
