If you want to repeat installation of all packages from your computer to another one their is ideal solution to create list of all installed packages on your computer. Open shell and type:

sudo dpkg --get-selections >
installed-programs

File"installed-programs" will be written inside your Home folder and you can copy this folder. On another computer (computer on which you want to import this list) type:

sudo dpkg --set-selections <
installed-programs
sudo dselect

This procedure will mark all inside list for download, and then it will start will downloading and installation. Note that you also need to copy file /etc/apt/sources.list. You also need to refresh files database with command

sudo apt-get update
