Setting Up A Debian Packages Proxy With apt-cacher
There are many ways to
install a Debian Linux but the most common is certainly to use the net-install 160MB CDROM. You can download it from http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/. Booting up your PC from
this CD, you will be capable of setting-up a basic Linux system;
downloading updates, extra softwares and language support directly from
the Internet. But using this method of installation on more
than one PC in your LAN results in a massive waste of your precious
bandwidth. Therefore, maybe you should consider using a
cloning utility like “Sysimagerâ€. But, as it is most likely that every
computer will be slightly different one from another one, you should
consider setting up a Debian Package Proxy as a long term solution.
