This guide should answer your direct question

But I would recomend Rsync and simply clone entire /root. Its only expensive the first time.

You can also create your own package repository and have all your machines run their daily updates from your repository.


Supposing you want to install Ubuntu on multiple identical systems you could try with the Automatic Install feature.
