All the programs which you install using Synapatic package manger,apt-get,aptitude have a .Deb file in the following folder

/var/cache/apt/archives

This is very useful when you want to check which version of package is installed on your system and you can take backup of this folder and install all the packages in another machine

    The directory /var/cache/apt/archives may be cleaned up with the commands aptitude autoclean or aptitude clean. Use the apt-show-versions command to list available package versions with distribution.
