I’m trying to clean out my horribly cluttered email inbox and bring order to my life, and I came across this old note I had emailed myself.
This is useful for whenever you need to reinstall a server or when you are upgrading your Ubuntu release to a newer version with a clean install.
To quickly and easily print out all packages currently installed, just do:
dpkg –get-selections|awk ‘{print $1}’|tr ‘\n’ ‘ ‘
