can I mirror my desktop to the laptop?

by cvaughan02 . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

I currently work on a pc, running the latest version of Ubuntu. But I’m upgrading to a laptop in a couple of weeks, so I can work while I’m on the road.

The problem is, I know my laptop is going to come preloaded with windows, which I will promptly delete (I hate windows).

I’m wondering how I can mirror my entire ubuntu install over to the laptop. The thing is, I have a lot of saved info on the desktop(passwords, ftp info, etc…) because I’m a web programmer and I have to connect to hundreds of client’s sites with on-click.

Specs:
My current desktop is a dinosaur. It was actually my backup pc and the other died about a year ago. Assume it’s running the least advance hardware possible. The hd is 40gb.

The new laptop is going to be a pretty middle of the road machine, with at least a 250gb hd, so plenty of space for the current install of Ubuntu.

I’d prefer not to have to buy any third-party software, but I can if necessary.

Thanks,
