How can I update home computer
Posts: 57
from portable updated at work? I can take my portable to work and update on high speed connection. Is there a way to keep my home desktop updated from my portable because I only have a less than 50kb connection at home. 
I can do that.

Which files do you copy??? I guess I don't know how Linux works as far as system files.?? I take it there is no registry but do you copy whole directories??? I would guess Bin and maybe Etc??? When you update at work, do you need to write down all the files that get updated???

you need to copy *.deb files.
If you update at work you should have the debs stored somewhere in /var. Use find files to find them. Copy them over to another place, this will be your private archive. You can then use what you need, with dpkg to install you will be in hell like rpm, so copying large numbers and having a list like on the official repositories is preferable.

You could setup a home network via Ethernet, or a direct cable connection to move files.
