I'm sorry to see you go, but I'm glad there's a Linux distribution
that you feel still fits your needs.
* Related to the last, no simple caching software. The last I knew,
there was no RPM analog to the Debian apt-cacher. This caches deb
packages, so that, for all the machines that use it, a given package
is pulled in from the mirror only once, thereby reducing network
traffic, and greatly speeding updates on other clients of the
cache. For Fedora, I used an rsync script, but that meant I had
copies of entire repos, with massive redundancy of updated packages,
far more than I need.

which is a work in progress, but is intended to meet your needs and be
easily installable too.
