And download that full DVD, it'll make things SO much easier.
-
@scottalanmiller Full DVD means all iso in the ubuntu page?
-
@scottalanmiller Whether the same issue will occur in Ubuntu 16.10 OS.The reinstallation proceesss?

After a quick glance at the alternate downloads for Ubuntu, it doesn't appear that they have an "Everything DVD" like Debian provides.

Ya you would probably have to make a local repo for everything. Never done it on Ubuntu, but it's relatively easy with RHEL.

Ubuntu never makes things easy, does it.

Possible. But at least it is stable, supported and known. 17.04 isn't ready to be used at all yet.
-
I am with the crowd, use 16.10.

That's what I thought too and probably the best possible approach to keep an offline Linux system updated. It's not even specific to Debian or Ubuntu, you can basically do the same with Windows (e.g. WSUS).
This should get you started:

Ya I that with all of our RHEL systems. Yum gives you a reposync tool, so I just reposync the repos I'm attached to and store them on an apache server. It's really easy.

I was going to go with a Spacewalk server, but since I'm using Puppet for CM, the complexities of Spacewalk wasn't worth it just for the repos.

I used Spacewalk one place for everything and honestly, I hate it. Way too much work, way too little results

I had an instance built and was playing with it. That's the impression I got. It's easier to drop a .repo file in and just use Apache to serve the files. Esp since I'm using Puppet.

Yeah, Spacewalk feels like it is solving a problem that doesn't really exist. Scratching something that doesn't itch.

I haven't used Satellite, so I don't know what's actually different, but it's expensive so I figured it was useful ha. I think it's just for admins who want to be able to point and click.

It didn't feel that way. There was SO much effort involved in everything. Such a pain. Maybe it is part of that "GUI at any cost" mentality. But it was crazy to me.

Right, I was thinking have the guys who know what's going on set it up and then have the "lesser" admins point and click, but even stupid tasks were hard. Stuff was in weird places and just not intuitive. Plus CM on it was slow.

Yeah, I'm not sure many "lesser" admins would be happy using Spacewalk. Way too hard.
