Move data from one machine to another ?

As render said, good old dd does the job, but if you want something with a gui like Ghost, look no further than partimage ( http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page ), which often is included in linux distros out of the box.

If you want to go the dd route, this here guide should get you started : http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.ph...0Under%20Linux
