If the version of the OS are not exactly the same, say some are of
10.04 and some are of 11.04. I guess I can't use copy paste, right?

Even each machine has the same OS, but if I had already installed
different packages on different machines previously, I should not use
copy and paste, either. Right?

First one is right.

For the second you can do it. Simple it will not install the installed packages.----------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I have a number of ubuntu machines with the same version of OS. I want
install some package on all of them. Login to each of them and run the
installation command (could be apt-get or traditional
configure->make->make install) is time consuming. Is there some tool
that can help me automate this process? Thanks!


Clusterssh.

"Description-en: administer multiple ssh or rsh shells simultaneously
ClusterSSH (cssh, crsh, ctel) allows you to control multiple ssh, rsh
or telnet sessions from a single input window. You can also configure
clusters of machines for easy invocation and interact with individual
terminal windows during a session."

If these are multiple packages you could simply build a markings file
and then distribute that and your sources list & run as a script file.

Note: you can easily modify the marking/dpkglist.txt file to suit your
requirements. If you use Synaptic you can just select the packages that
you wish to mark rather than the entire list of installed packages.
