+!!Clone packages from one machine to another.
+To install the same packages you have on machine A on machine B, do the following:
+
+*A: dpkg --get-selections > list
+* _copy the file to machine b_
+*B: dpkg --set-selections < list
+*B: apt-get dselect-upgrade
+
+It should list all the packages and install them.
