Sharing My Updates With Other People On Ubuntu/Debian?

[subscrive]

Hi,

I would like to share my Ubuntu updates with other friends of mine. How can I do it?

Say, I have installed KDE, VLC player etc on my Ubuntu.
My friend also has basic Ubuntu installed, but does not have a net connection.
So how do I share my wares with him?

Sharing in Windows is quite easy. You can just burn the install/setup files and give it to the person. Is there any similar way?

you can download the packages, but not install them with

 apt-get -d install packagename

the packages should be at

/var/cache/apt/archives

then burn the .deb found in the archives to a cdr (or whatever).
our you can just download the .deb from the server yourself without apt.

"you can download the packages, but not install them with"

Well I want to install them for my use as well as distribute them.

SO I hope that installing the packages will not delete them from the cache.

You can make sure by going to preferences in Synaptic:
