You might transfer this file to another computer, and install it

and then, in order to install the packages, should I do "aptitude

# man dpkg
works wonders. :-) Also from the dselect man page:
Note that this will not actually install or remove anything, but just
set the selection state on the requested packages. You will need some
other application to actually download and install the requested
packages. For example, run apt-get dselect-upgrade.
When yesterday I installed Linux dual-boot on our family machine, I
relied on apt-show-versions to create a fully-featured system
similar to mine.
My machine:
$ apt-show-versions > /media/thumb/package.versions.txt
Their machine, when in a minimal state:
# apt-get install \
$(cat /media/thumb/package.versions.txt | cut -d/ -f1)
