I will be switching hard drives and upgrading to an ssd drive.
The questions I have are:

1) How can I get a list of programs currently installed on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine.
2) how can install those programs again on the new 13.10 drive without reinstalling each program one by one.

Thanks

The following will get a list of all installed packages and store that list into a file in your user directory:

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ~/packages.list

Then to use that to install the packages on another PC:

sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/packages.list; sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
