Hi Alan,
I read from the docs that "Landscape" is a competitor for Puppet or
Ansible.
You can manage your deployment of multiple servers in groups, and keep
their systems identical.
Just to clarify:
What I would like to do on each of my family's "3" Ubuntu boxes that are
"All Different".
* Script or command to read the list of apps installed:
* ignores all those installed as requirements
* Ignores all those automatically installed
* I think that the apt system tracks that info?
* I can read and edit the list
* I can copy that list to various backup locations, like the other
Ubuntu boxes, or email or whatever.
* I think I can create a script to re-install from the list

Yes there are tools for that it is called landscape from canonical and
it is one of the strong reasons to use Ubuntu in spite of whatever you
think the privacy reasons might be
Those five free licenses you've been talking about are five free
licenses for landscape
With landscape you can completely manage all of those endpoints
including what apps are installed security and so on and so forth from
one Central point
