Re: [Hampshire] Printers

Hi, I've used the HP Laserjet 4300n (and 4200n - the same but a little slower) and they are excellent devices. They are fairly compact and modular so you buy the bits you need (duplexer, paper trays, stapler/stacker, trolley...) If you can find one there are preloaded ones where the model

[Hampshire] ubuntu updates

Hello there, Quick question follows, here are a number of ubuntu 9.04 machines. They all want updates. Instead of eating loads of internet bandwidth, can the updates simply be downloaded once from one machine and then installed manually on the others ? thanks in advance, Isaac. --

Re: [Hampshire] Printers
