Good one!
I'm thinking about building a server too and one of the things I wanted it for was a caching apt proxy. There seem to be a few ways of doing this though, which is the best of the lot? Some of the other things I wanted to put on my server were: LAMP for website testing A torrent downloader - something like deluge or torrentflux Squeezecenter - I have 2 squeezeboxes Twonky -- Registered Linux User #466407 http://counter.li.org
