Question: I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 on a VMWare for sometime now. I did a lot of customization on it (e.g. remove unity, install my applications etc.).

Last week I managed to get another laptop and installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it. I was wondering if it's possible ot make these two Ubuntu system identical, i.e. move everything (settings, applications etc.) from my VM Ubuntu to my laptop Ubuntu.

Answer: 
You can try [clonezilla](http://clonezilla.org/). It supports several file systems.
1. boot the laptop with LiveCD
2. Make the apropriate partitions
3. Rsync your files to the laptop, use -AHaXx --numeric-ids
4. mount the target system somewhere: / /boot /proc /dev /sys ...
5. chroot in it
6. grub it
7. done.:)
