Quickly save and reinstall a list of packages on Ubuntu

Credit this guy : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366

I found out how to do this recently and thought it might be helpful to some people. To output this information to a file in your home directory you would use,
dpkg --get-selections > installed-software
And if you wanted to use the list to reinstall this software on a fresh ubuntu setup,

dpkg --set-selections < installed-software
followed by

dselect
