I do the same thing... sorta.  I use apt-move to keep a mini mirror of
the packages I use that is available to the other machines.

I had the same issue, but all I did was export the
/var/cache/apt/archives/ through NFS, and then the other machine would
mount it as their own. Pretty simple, and it seems to work. Everything
was then shared.

apt-move question/problem

[John Covici]

Hi.  I have two machines and I would like to avoid downloading the
same debian packages for each one since I have a slow connection.  I
want to use apt-move to make a mirror out of one machine and use it
for both machines to avoid duplicate downloads.

I did get it working (sort of), but I want to mirror both the unstable
and the unstable/non-us distributions -- can I do this or is there a
better way to go about this?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
