> For servers, I'd start with anything bluetooth related. +1 My former co-workers and I used to giggle about bluetooth on servers. We joked about using bluetooth mesh for out of band. Even more silly on a VM. Some of the things I used to remove from Red Hat/Cent OS. (Going from memory, sorry if pkg names are wrong, plus they're Red Hat packages)

Why not just a HTTP proxy? Because Debian/Ubuntu mirrors are all round-robin DNS and therefore have the same URL's they should be easy to cache. Then instead of replicating a whole repo you end up caching only what you're using. If you are using Squid just be sure to increase the size of the items it will cache. Some packages get pretty big. -Alan On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 3:21 PM, Nicholas Leippe <[email protected]> wrote: > /me seconds gentoo for similar reasons. > > But regardless, can't you set up a local package cache (ala http-replicator > that gentoo uses--really just a simple caching http proxy) to reduce > duplicate downloads from multiple machines and just not worry about it? > > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
