[ubuntu-uk] Manchester Ubuntu Release Party

[Alan Bell]

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 
in synaptic. Works a treat. Caches stuff and collects new packages on 
demand. You can then remove the proxy settings to be pointing back at 
the main repos.
