If the time for updating is internet bandwidth related, install
apt-cacher on your internet-connected box. Then point all boxes to that
box in /etc/apt/sources.list.
This way, the first box you update and upgrade will do so at internet
speed, but subsequent boxes connect at your local network speed.
