APT caching server for a small LAN

Fri Feb 4 23:22:46 UTC 2005

Hey,

I don't know to what extent this is supported but I have the following situation; I have a LAN of a few workstations and one server. I perform quite alot of HDD reformats and am always installing new bits and bobs via APT. The thing is, I am, consequently, forever downloading the same packages more than once and I would much rather download them all onto the server and then just have the apt client on the workstations fetch the packages from the  local server rather than getting them from half way across the internet - is this reasonably simple to implement?

Thanks,

Ben Hodgson
