The Nov ?? Deb weekly news contained: Debian Package Caching. Jonathan Oxer [11]wrote about caching Debian packages in order to save bandwidth when updating or installing multiple Debian machines. The [12]apt-cacher utility was originally written by Nick Andrew to maintain two Debian systems over a slow modem connection. It runs as CGI program and only needs to be set up on one machine. 11. http://articles.linmagau.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=451 12. http://packages.debian.org/apt-cacher Haven't tried it yet.
