Full Mirror vs apt-proxy



Greetings all and thank you for the suggestions regarding mirroring the
amd64 distribution.

Having given some thought to the situation, I have concluded I need to
have a full mirror. I have an external USB hard drive on which I now
mirror both the i386 (Woody through Sid) and amd64 (Sarge through Sid).

I have found that maintaining i386 installations even with a cable or
DSL connection is all too often too time consuming which is the reason
for the portable mirror in the first place. Also, there are two such
installations with dial-up access which alone justifies the portable mirror.

At the moment I have only my laptop to maintain, but in the coming year,
I should have at least one amd64 server which may not be connected to
the Internet at all. Thus, a full, portable, mirror is what I really need.

Cheerio!
