- squid (as you've already mentioned) - Export a central /var/cache/apt via NFS or similar - Upgrade one machine, then manually copy the debs from its /var/cache/apt to the others and either put them in /var/cache/apt and upgrade normally or just use `dpkg -i` to install the deb directly without going through apt -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
