I have a laptop and a desktop with Ubuntu 14.04 installed on both of them.

If there is an update I have to do it to both of them, but if there is anyway that I can synchronize the update process between them so I only download the update on one of them and apply it to both of them that would be great to reduce the consumption of the Internet resources?

  • A possible solution for you could be creating your own local repository. You can find instructions for instance here.

  • You probably don't want the identical installation on both computers since they require different drivers for the hardware.

  • - Create my own repository then what it's the same as downloading the updates on both computer. @Bruni Apr 19, 2015 at 15:27
  • - Other than hardware drivers the most common are programs software and Ubuntu-Base Package, and i think i it the same for all computers. @LDC3 Apr 19, 2015 at 15:28
  • I thought the point was reducing bandwith. If you create your own repo from the files downloaded on one of the computers and use this as a repo for the second, you reduce internet bandwith (provided they are in the same local network). You could also use an external drive for this.
