Transfering settings and files from one machine to another

[rob]

What flavor of OS is this on?  When I build a new machine, I use scp to get my files
over to the new server, aka:

service mysqld stop
scp /var/lib/mysql/database_name root at ipaddress:/var/lib/mysql/
the fire up mysql on the new box.
