Evening all,
I came home today to find my media centre (running ubuntu 8.10) had run out
of disk space. I rotate things on it to keep space free, so it seemed odd.
On investigation, I found some large files that I am hoping someone could
explain?
in /var/log there are 3 files - kern.log, syslog a

BBC sounds like a great location. For a local repo I would suggest
installing apt-cacher on something and pointing to it as a proxy server
