I like the dpkg method myself. Of course this won't help if you have lots of custom conf file in etc.
In that case, creating a tarball of etc would remedy that. Clonezilla is another option I like if you want an exact duplicate (I have used both methods and its a toss up for me what is the better solution) Of course, your mileage may vary.

Hi, I wonder what the best way is to move a (non mission-critical) Debian server installation to a new server. Rsync, clonezilla, tar, mondo, dpkg-selections? With Gentoo I used to tar root, unpack it on the new server, adjust config files and reinstall grub.I wonder what the proper way in Debian is.
