web server migration

good afternoon

looking for input on moving a couple small family websites from a 
desktop machine running lenny to a poweredge 4600 I just bought. 
poweredge has two 73gb scsi drives, perc3 embedded raid. in process of 
formatting drives, and then setting up container. desktop has a 300gb 
drive, all one partition, but only about 4gb used.  ideally would like 
to just somehow dd or rsync contents of the desktop to the other machine.

question.  how would YOU do it with minimal hassle, ie. having to edit 
config files, databases and such.  this thing has been running since 
etch and been a learning process along the way....  i doubt my idea of 
cloning would work, but?
