Hi guys,

I work for a government educational Institute, our main focus is to teach technical high school teachers in using Opensource Software. In the fisrt course we teach them how to install a GNU/Linux system and basic configuration, the thing is we were using mandriva all this time for this course, but a few months ago ppl start asking about ubuntu so we decide to change to use both, but the problem we have rigth now is that once we finished installin we have to update the system aand it become too slow when you have 4 labs doing the same thing, so we want to keep a local repository of ubuntu. Is that posible?? Coold someone point me to a how to or guide me to do it?? what are the requirements??

Thanks in advance to all....

Well by default you have to do it manually but you can doit automatically by using crontab..
