If you like your setup on the initial machine and you are running the same
version of the same distro on the second machine, why not just copy the
files over?  Everything you compiled yourself should be under /usr/local,
and a fresh install should have an empty /usr/local.  You should be able to
do something like this:

  $ cd /usr/local
  $ tar cvf - * | ssh otherbox "cd /usr/local; tar xf -"

You can do a similar thing with the kernel (though I don't know about
running an SMP kernel on a uniproc box).

I usually compile things on my AMD 1700 and then copy them over to my
Celeron 466 with a similar command.  Saves a bunch of time.
