Dunno why, true is that in my laptop I lack Exim also, maybe because I 
installed the laptop pattern and this does not trigger the installation 
of a full e-mail server :-?

It would be interesting that you list all the packages from both systems 
and then compare them, something like:

>From laptop:
dpkg --get-selections > $HOME/Desktop/comp1.txt

>From desktop:
dpkg --get-selections > $HOME/Desktop/comp2.txt

And then run diff:

diff $HOME/Desktop/comp1.txt $HOME/Desktop/comp2.txt > $HOME/Desktop/diff.txt

"diff.txt" will show you all the packages installed in desktop not 
present in laptop.
