Keryx is a portable, open source and cross-platform package manager for APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian) systems. It provides a graphical interface for gathering updates, packages, and dependencies for offline computers. Other than being very easy to use, there are three other reasons why I really like Keryx: * You can edit it's sources, so you can use PPAs and other unofficial repositories (under Project > Edit Sources); * When clicking on a package, it's dependencies are displayed, along with the direct download link for the package in question. * On the second computer, you can see the packages for which there are updates available, before downloading them.
