Believe it or not, doing a fresh load onto the new machine and restoring 
from a USB backup of the old one worked well.  I think what I was 
originally looking for was along the lines of 'tar cf 
/home/httpd/html/old_box.tar /home /etc --exclude 
/home/httpd/html/old_box.tar'.  From there I would 
'https://oldbox:445/old_box.tar' and save the tarball to a USB stick, 
move the stick to the new box, login to the new box, 'cd /', mount the 
USB stick, and 'tar xf /mount_location/old_box.tar'.  Finally, I'd run 
setup to make any network, driver, address, and password changes that 
were necessary and hope for the best.

Thanks for all the responses.  Yes, linux is a buffet of solutions.  :^)
