Migrating Ubuntu Accounts Across Machines

[BillytheImpaler]

I have an x86 machine with a few user accounts and a variety of documents running Feisty. I'd like to move all user accounts, documents, and settings to another machine, a dual G4 PowerMac. I was wondering if there was any utility designed to aid this process. Is there? If not, have you fellows any links to guides that would be helpful in this area?

I looked into the Ubuntu Migration Assistant but it appears to only be useful when moving from Windows to Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Am I mistaken?

TIA

Surely you can just copy the home folders?

Yes, but there are still other things to consider such as my sudo configuration for each user and the user accounts themselves. I can have /home identical on both machines but that does not create the users and allow them to log into the system.

Bumpio?

I can't think of a way of doing stuff such as copying users across, I'm not sure if there's the intention of that in the system.
