For some time I've fiddled with Debian and Ubuntu LTS. There's one
really nice feature for local networks: apt-cacher, a package proxy

My company is in the remote South French countryside, and more often
than not, schools and public libraries only have some very limited
Internet access with relatively low bandwidth, which can make the
updating process very tedious. A package cache comes in very handy in
such situation.
Do you know if something like this exists for RPM-based distributions?
I maintain a local mirror of the centos repository with a simple lftp
script, and configure my clients to get updates from this mirror via the
/etc/yum.repos.d files....
my update_morror.sh script that gets run daily from a crontab
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.sonic.net && lcd
/mnt/zbig/mirror && mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x ia64 -x s390 -x
s390x -x alpha -x SRPMS centos'
If you use this, replace ftp://mirrors.sonic.net with a mirror well
connected to your ISP, chosen from http://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/
