I just update one machine to test out the patches, then rsync /var/cache/apt back to a "spray" server and then rsync to all the other machines and then run apt-get upgrade. Beauty of *nix many ways to get your fix. A nice to know but..

I just wanted to point out something similar if you only want to download packages once even if they are to be installed on more than 1 computer. Also, unlike apt-mirror, you don't download the entire repository, instead you download the packages you actually use. It's called apt-cacher. It's very easy to use and only has to be installed on 1 computer. You then change your sources.list file on all your other computers to point at the one running apt-cacher and you're done. It works great, only downloads packages you will actually use, and saves bandwidth. Great article!

Not that I will have any use for this at the moment (only a private user), but its really amazing to see how powerful Ubuntu is on administrative tasks in general. It doesn't even seem very hard, as long as you have the basics under control. Thanks Cool!
