Save Bandwidth With Multiple Machines with Apt-Cacher
Over the holidays I was visiting my parents and helping my brother with his Ubuntu system. One of the biggest drawbacks of heading up that way for a visit is leaving the fiber-optic comforts of home and heading up to DSL villa. I swear its like rewinding a decade and hearing the hellish dial-up noises all over again!
In any event, I was helping my brother update his Ubuntu machine and was getting tired of seeing the estimated download time hover around 18hrs! It was about that time that I got to thinking… “my laptop is up to date. There should be a way for him to simply download the updates from my machine over the LAN.” After some Google magic I came across Apt-Cacher and a cure was found!
