Local server updates for the network

I have setup one computer on our network as the file server. Because Internet here in Tanzania is both slow and expensive I would like that one system to download all the updates and then the other 10 computers on the network to get those update files from the server. I'm a bit of a noobie to Ubuntu, but really want to learn how to get this working smoothly so as to help other NGOs and schools here in Tanzania. Brendon

Solution 1:

Great news, this is a simple setup.

1) On the system you want to host all of the files, install "squid-deb-proxy"

2) On all of the systems (including the system from step 1), install "squid-deb-proxy-client"

That's it, now all of your clients will use the one system to get updates/install packages, and if that system doesn't have the file it (the server) will go out and get the file.
