I heared about offline apt-get installation but I dont Know How to Do It , And I read about Make All the repository at usb external hard drive but I dont Know The right way to do so ?
Hi,
If u have the same hardaware and os you can use APTonCD (http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net), because there is not a solution like WUS from Mircosoft.
But really you don't need any software: you can copy all the updates from /var/cache/apt/archives on a external memory or share the directory in the network.
Than plug it in the other pc, open a terminal and navigate to the updates directory. Like administrator install the updates with this command: dpkg -i *.deb (this install all the .deb files in the directory).
Anyway you need internet connection if something go wrong, like administrator, u can use this commands:
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade (or #apt-get dist-upgrade)
#apt-get install -f (to fix some not complete installation)
Type man apt-get in the terminal for info or look in the net for some tutorial.

Without internet connection, it is not very straight forward but I can get this scenario if it is behind a DMZ/firewall will all protocols blocked, in such cases - in RHEL or CENT OS - I used RPM packages tunnelled in and install. However, I am not sure about UBUNTU. I am confident this can be done somehow. Need to research this a bit if the above two solutions don't work.
