Tips for slow internet access user

Hello all,
Internet connection in my country is quite expensive, so not everybody has a 
broadband. 
I am a RH/Suse users for so many years and now I've been exploring Ubuntu. The 
experience so far has been awesome! I like it.
However, since Ubuntu is a single CD distro, many times it needs to download 
additional packages from the internet. Fine, I can do this from the office 
because it has fast internet access. 

However,
I have a desktop PC at home. I want to install Feisty on it. My question is: 
Can I "use/transfered" the packages that I have downloaded using synaptic on 
my notebook AT the OFFICE for my desktop PC at HOME? How? I notice that 
downloaded packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives? I understand that 
we can use the command dpkg to install from file, but what if a package needs 
lots of dependencies?

Any tips are appreciated. Thank you.
