After looking at some of the documentation, it looks like you should
just copy over the /var/mailman/lists and the
/var/mailman/archives/private directories and their contents.  I
suggest keeping a full copy of penguin:/var/mailman on linode, but I
think you'll only need the aforementioned configuration and archive
files. 

Run /var/mailman/bin/check_perms -f to check and fix any permissions
problems after you've put the files in place.

Then, use the /var/mailman/bin/list_lists -b to list the lists, and
then run the command G.Pitman suggested on each list.  After this has
been completed, you can start up mailman, and start testing it.
