Basically, I would:
* Manually install the packages on the new machine. You can use dpkg
--set-selections and friends, but for just a website you're probably
looking at<10 packages and here's a good chance to not also install
everything you used to want on the previous machine.
* Create a database on the new machine and populate it (by dumping out
of the old one and importing to the new one)
* Tar up the site, scp it across, untar it into the document root on
the new server.
* Edit your /etc/hosts file to point the domain at the new server,
poke around the site and check that everything's in order. Fix stuff
that isn't.
* Do another dump-and-transfer of the SQL (and files if neccesary)
* Switch your router to point incoming web traffic at the new machine
and not the old one.

around on this as well. iso downloading now, gonna spend some time on
