[Discuss] Moving Your Everyday System to New Hardware

[Rich Pieri]

My take on the process is rather mundane: I write it down. Every
package I install and every custom change I make, I write it in text
file which functions as a play book for deploying a functionally
identical system regardless of the underlying hardware. And then I
restore my home directory and non-OS data from backups (technically
backup staging replicas).
