If you're using different distros (debian, ubuntu...) I also recommend
apt-cacher-ng because of the remapping feature. apt-cacher does not work
well with debian and ubuntu at the same time because sometimes there are
packages with the same name...
a little bit off-topic:
I am using apt-cacher, with apt-cacher-ng I had issues with changing the
repository-path to an nfs-share. Is that usually working or is it not
possible to change the path ? I couldn't find anything related in the
manual of apt-cacher-ng
