[clug] what is best way to migrate a whole computer's content to another?

[jhock]

Hi All,

I have bought a new computer and I want to move all the stuff I have on
my old EeePC to the new one. I have a 1 terrabyte external hard drive
that I can use for temporary storage. Of course I will backup all my
data directories before attempting anything. ;--)

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Thanks.

John
