So, we're up to 180MB in updates.

[José Paulo Matafome Oleiro]

Why don't strat a way of getting the updates on CD every 2 months If
people want (or create wireless networks with local rapositorys of the
updates, that people can access only the repository) it's a good way to
help other people. Or if that person don't live in the area were this
wireless networks can be created, someone could send the cd to that
person, and that person may only pay the price of the mail and the cost
of the medium. I think this is a good idea, and can be applied to the
repositorys with the other programas that people don't have by default
on Ubuntu and need to install later. For example my apt cache has 3.6GB
of files. And I'm providing access to my local network for wireless and
people can connect to my pc using apt-proxy.
