I'm not sure you mean by "local mirror". If you mean the one closest to you, absent any pressing network issues, I wouldn't worry about it. http://deb.debian.org/ points to a content delivery network (CDN) that picks a local server for you. If you mean running your own mirror, I suggest that setting up a local cache would be less resource intensive. Running your own mirror would mean pulling in a lot of stuff you'll never use. Running a cache means pulling in only what you use, and then you have it locally should you need it again, say for another machine. I run apt-cacher-ng with excellent results. All my machines use auto-apt-proxy, and I have a suitable entry in my DNS server. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
