[TriLUG] Debian repository question

[Joseph E. ODoherty]

Roy,

You may want to look into the apt-cacher package. It's basically a proxy
that transparently caches debs as they are requested. I've been really
happy with it. (Note that if you plan on having a local network without any
upstream internet connectivity, this package is not for you.)
