The time lost due to a post on the wrong list will still be inferior to the time gained by having people focused on the subject they want. > > And anything related to the mandrakelinux distro. > > For God's sake, a urpmi proxy, like apt-proxy.

I do not know squid too much, but, it should be possible to cache everything that come from a certain host, whatever the size is ?
