I am using ubuntu Gutsy on my (office)desktop. Recently got a Lenovo T61 at office. Now I want all packages that I installed on my desktop ( which I installed as and when I needed ) to be installed on laptop also. So here is how I did it (by googling of course).
Get the list of all packages installed on your machine using this command:
$ dpkg --get-selections > sw.list
on new machine:
copy sw.list first. Then use following commands to install all these packages.
$ cat sw.list | sudo dpkg --set-selections
$ dselect
