I don't think this is possible but I thought I ask:<br />
<br />
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on one laptop and working fine. I have many programs installed that would take a while to reinstall on another machine. <br />
<br />
Would it possible for me to copy the contents of the Ubuntu partition and drop it into a new partition on another laptop? &nbsp;I know I would have to do fix the booting issues. But besides that, would it work?<br />
<br />
I think this is not possible in Windows. But perhaps linux is different. <br />

Possible to transfer Ubuntu installation from one PC to another

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
