[ubuntu-za] Local Repository Question

[Mark Stockton]

just an idea, use it, dont use it, it is up to you. 

but rather an set-up a complete repo and have all the over head of set-up as 
well as keep it up to date, look at caching packages with an apt-cacher proxy.  

however this would only work with numerous machines on site needing the same 
packages. 

Regards

Mark
