Hi,
just want to share a bit, if you have more than 1 machine, you can use these files to update the other machines. Just take a note of all the updates, then copy them to the /var/cache/apt/archives of the target machines, when ready, click update, it’ll automatically install them with no need to download the same files all over again. If it breaks, check if you have copied the correct files, if unsure, delete them then run sudo apt-get install -f from terminal. This really helps if you have low speed connection and save bandwidth.

Where can I find that AWN repository? I’ve been repeatedly recompiling from source.

“sudo apt-get install localepurge”
… also gives you a huge saving in disk space. It removes locale files for unused languages, from packages installed.

if you are likely to reinstall ubuntu, it’s good to first backup useful packages in apt cache with aptoncd to avoid downloading tons of updates after installation
