Managing lots of ubuntu workstations

[Rich Duzenbury]

Hi again ubuntu-ers,

I've got numerous ubuntu machines here.  I'm feeling guilty about using
the update agent on each one to keep the machine up to date as I keep
downloading the same files over and over for each machine update.  Of
course it takes a bunch of time to keep downloading all the files as
well.

I did a search of the wiki and didn't find much.  I'd like to download
updates from ubuntu one time, and then update all my machines from that
machine.

Surely there is a strategy for administering numerous ubuntu machines?

Are there some docs somewhere for how to set up an internal
repository?  

Is this a good idea?

Thanks!

Regards,
Rich
