[Bio-Linux] BioLinux/Ubuntu Package Manager Question

[Dubay, Christopher]

> To whom it may concern:

>

> I had a question for you on the BioLinux/Ubuntu package manager.

>

> A few of our BioLinux VMs are behind a firewall that is not allowing the package manager to find updates to the system.

>

> What do you think would be the easiest way for us to get these VMs updated? We do have some machines that can access the Ubuntu and NEBC/NECR BioLinux repositories, so we could download the updates, but I don't know enough Linux to know the best way to do this. Our IT staff gets nervous with using proxies, so a file transfer based method would be best.
