I am trying to copy all of the packages I have installed on one Debian machine to another Debian machine without doing another apt-get install and downloading all of the package all over again.

They're stored in:

/var/cache/apt/archives/

unless you've issued a:

apt-get clean

Thank you so much! So, let's say if I copied the files to another machines, what's the easiest way to install all of them? – David Jan 15 at 17:59

Assuming that all the dependencies are satisfied: dpkg -i *.deb. – cYrus Jan 15 at 18:04

If you had already issued

apt-get clean

you can take a look at these pages to learn about replicating the same package configuration on the other machine
