While this is REAL esy to do (just copy
/etc
/home
/usr
/var
and drop them on the new system, I agree, that an easy "migration assistant" (burn migration CD-set/burn migration DVD) would be helpful for a lot of people

In addition to CDs and DVDs, there could be options for USB flash drives, hard drives (external), floppy disks (jk), and even straight up tarring everything to a file with a special extension, like .mig or something, that the migration assistant on the new computer opens. Good idea!
