I use Ubuntu, mainly because of apt. If you do decide to switch over, I
recommend you look into apt-proxy. Instead of setting up a full mirror, it
will cache the packages you download. The downside of doing this as apposed
to doing a full mirror is that you will get the DSL speeds that first time
you dl the package from a workstation. But hey, you don't have to spend a
few days downloading packages you won't ever use. I haven't checked, but
something similar for rpm's probably exists.
