Managing Updates

[cranerja]

I have a computer that I use as a file server for about ten other computers in my network, all running Ubuntu 14.04. I have very poor internet access and would like the main machine to automatically download the updates and have all of the computers in my network 'download' the updates from the server. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Hi

Take a look at either

apt-cacher

Or

apt-cacher-ng

I have never used either but they look similar to a tool that I have used called apt-mirror. (I have mirrored the entire repository and some ppas for reasons I won't go into).

They may be just what you need. If so then you'll have to set up an Apache server.

Another option maybe

apt-zip

Kind regards
