[wplug] Moving to new computer

2 questions.

1.  I am planning on getting a new computer.  My current computer
(Mandrake 9.2)  I would love to get as much stuff transfered as possible
without worrying about reinstalling everything individually.  This seems
like a lot to ask, but is there an easy way to move an existing
installation to a new computer?

2.  I think my biggest problem is that I don't consistently install
programs in the same place.  Some are in my home directly, some are
installed from RPMs and go to /usr... Some are installed from "make
install"...  What do more experienced users to to ensure they're systems
are more manageable?

Any pointers to more information would be greatly appreciated.
