I guess you could make a crontab running 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get -d
- -y upgrade', running that in times you have some bandwidth will get all
the update, but won't install them. You can now use ftp or something to
get the packages to the other machines (or make you
/var/cache/apt/archives apt-get-able for you local network).
The downside of this approach would be that you won't get any security
updates of packages not installed on the machine with the crontab.
