[ubuntu-uk] Remote Ubuntu Users

Dear All,

A good friend of mine has taken up the offer of becoming a medical 
officer on the Falkland Islands for a 2 year contract. Having spent time 
on many remote locations I'm actually very jealous as the Falklands and 
surrounds are a stunning place to bring up a family. What's not so 
stunning are the broadband costs

Admittedly the link is via a standard C&W satellite link which is always 
expensive.

Anyhow, he's a keen ubuntu user and I'm pretty sure there's no Falklands 
ubuntu community group!

This is my question -

His broadband is damn expensive and sometimes "sudo apt-get update && 
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" may well use up much of his monthly 
allowance.
Ironically, it's very cheap to post via snail mail a usb stick back and 
forth! Any ideas how I can keep him up to date (albeit at monthly 
intervals) via this method?
My google-fu has failed me.

Thanks
Dan
