And here is my list:

unison
unison-gtk
mozilla-thunderbird
mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail
revelation
vym
anjuta
libtemplate-perl
libtemplate-perl-doc
build-essential
sun-java6-jdk
sun-java6-jre
libglut3-dev
ttf-ubuntu-title
nautilus-open-terminal
language-pack-gnome-en
gpc
sun-java6-plugin
virtualbox-ose
hugin
openssh-server
fail2ban
nmap
ddclient
ufraw
gimp-ufraw
imagemagick
libimage-exiftool-perl
gthumb
transfig
xfig
pan

I keep this in a file called packages and add to it whenever I install a
package. I can then run the following script to install it all:

#!/bin/bash
sudo aptitude install `grep -v '^#' packages`

Regards,
Tony.
