Hi. Normally, their are several ways of getting rid of packages that ahve been installed on you're system. Packages are by default stored in /var/cache /apt/archives. As far as actually using these packages on other systems, their is actually utilities which create apt proxies. You could also even mount portions of /var via NFS--so their is a lot of flexibility here. personally, portions of the /var tree which are transient i.e./var/cache, /var/tmp, etc. are mounted via NFS, because a few machines here do not have a lot of local storage--mainly some Sparc64 machines.. --Erik
