apt-proxy is a useful tool to stop you having to download [APT]s for every machine on your network. The configuration is quite simple. Just install the apt-proxy package using apt-get and follow the prompts. On each client machine alter the file /etc/apt/sources.list to something like: <verbatim> deb http://myserver:9999/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://myserver:9999/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://myserver:9999/security stable/updates main contrib non-free </verbatim> Then continue to use apt-get as you always have. I would recommend editing the configuration file under =/etc/apt-proxy/= to add a nz server as first choice as it can be slow getting updates from the US at times.
