You can also save your list of installed programmes to a text file and re-install them on another computer or on the same one if you format your drive. This requires downloading them again which is no problem if you have a hispeed connection. This gives you the advantage of being able to start fresh. Same programmes each time but you will get whatever is current in the repositories. Note: this only creates a list of applications. The file is small and can be copied easily to another computer.

Some people don't mind using old (stable) packages and some people like the freshest. It is all about what works best for you. If you have a dialup connection then this approach would be best.
