I have a ubuntu 12 LTS and windows dual boot machine. My hard drive is going to fail soon and my machine has also become quite old now. I am buying a new computer soon. How can I restore my ubuntu copy on that machine?

I push all my code repos to the server, so I wont lose anything critical. But I would like not to have to make all the customization bash, webstorm settings, lxde bar, chrome etc. again.

You should be able to use RemasterSys to do this. It is currently out of development, but is still installable.

wget -qO - http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu [code] main

Insert either quantal or precise where [code] is. Newer code names DO NOT WORK! After it is install, you should click Backup.
