I searched here and see mention of Clonezilla and Remastersys – but nothing I found answered my question completely, so I ask:
My home PC is just a generic one, and now that I changed it to Ubuntu I really love how it's come out and how it runs better !
My office PC is a different generic set of hardware, and I'd like to 'clone' the exact same setup to it but not have to repeat all the tweaking and such that I did already.
Is there a program that will allow me to replicate/install my already customized setup from one to the other, easily ?
Are there certain steps I must make before doing something like that so it'll be compatible with different hardware ?
Thanks !

You can't be sure 100% that they'll work since it's different hardware, but here comes the interesting part Ubuntu will load the correct Modules for the hardware its running so the only thing you can do is just, try it and see if it works, now the configuration files are in your home folder under several hidden folders (.config for example).
A personal experience on this: I had a Core2Duo, MSi Intel motherboard and an AMD GPU running Ubuntu 11.04, when the time arrived I upgraded to an AMD PII x6, AMD Mb and the AMD GPU, luckily Ubuntu worked for me so, as i said.. try it.
