I am a member of a local LUG (Linux User Group) here in Anchorage. We meet on Friday niights for a hands on lab session self support etc.
One comment about bandwidth around the LUG: 'never under stimater the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes' This is a paraphrase of an old saying , hence the tape refernce?
The poin being, transfering large data sets can be accomplished by loading up the old auto and driving them, locally, seems like you could also mail a hard drive, USB stick somwhere in a timely fashion.

To where? Tim could hardly send an individual one to each of us.

We're both out of date and I stand corrected. Tim has already done it!!

It was more anecdotal/conceptual than a suggestion for Tim.
Having local repositories, once someone installs TDE they have all the packages, just save them somewhere, before the package management system deletes them. Debian has a few options for doing this.
How much bandwidth do you think it will require for just downloading packages?
