A howto backup your software configuration. "installed-software".

[Rajeev Prasad]

hello Bas,
 
will there be an issue if I use this techinique to move from 10.10 to 12.04 ubuntu? I mean 12.04 will have newer versions of softwares by default like PHP, mysql, perl etc. will this method try to install old software - IN ADDITION - to new software which comes preloaded into new OS? how will such situation be handeled?
 
ty.
Rajeev
