You don't need to add any config files if you are using squid-deb-proxy. Just install it on one box (with lots of extra disk space and a good network connection!) and then install squid-deb-proxy-client on all of your machines on the same LAN that need to use it, and it installs the appropriate apt-conf.d file to pick it up from the avahi publish. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
