If you use evolutiuon as your mail client, backup your accounts by selecting that option from evolution (i think it's under File), evolution stores some data outside of the homedirectory for security reasons.
I would not copy the whole home directory, as that might also copy with it some settings and preferences that might cause all the changes in the interface for example to be overriden, and you miss the experience of having a nice clean system. define the set of applications that matter, backup their settings and data, and make sure you have everything, I guess you can search for where each application stores the files. i am not an expert really, I see the benefit of having all your package names, but I think probably want to look into copying some config files from /etc (if you have done any modifications to anything). If all you are worried about is the firefox bookmarks, you can select bookmarks-> organize bookmarks -> file -> export, and then import them later -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
