dd performs a bit-by-bit copy. So the second drive will be an exact
duplicate as the first including. You should be able to pull it out of the
machine, plunk it into a second and boot.
If you want to redirect to another machine, then you'll want to pipe dd to
netcat. There's an excellent howto for that here:

Alternatively, you can create an iso of the partition you want to copy and
export that however you like:
ie.
mkisofs -o filename.iso -J /partion/path
