My current priority is verifying my Buster system is properly > setup. Essentially apt-cache-ng (or squid) is a proxy service for your machines. You run it on your "main" machine (or, well any spare server or VM), and tell apt to use that machine as a proxy. Then, when you're on your secondary laptop (or updating additional servers / VMs), they send all their apt requests via the proxy. If it has the package(s) in question, it supplies them directly to the client machine(s). If it doesn't, then you download them (and the proxy cache is updated for next time). Admittedly, these options work best if you have multiple machines that're pretty much the same (e.g. that "lab" I did, where all the desktops were identical). > > >> >> Cheers, >> David. >> >> >> -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
