Do you really need to move the system, or do you just want to keep 
everything in your home directory? There are a lot of ways to do this, 
and your question was a little vague, but:

I would backup /home/<user>/ to somewhere, and then reinstall Ubuntu on 
the new system, restoring your backup there. Things I would take note of 
first:
The UID of the user
The packages installed (dpkg -l | grep ^ii >>proglist)

Make sure the UID is the same on the new system, and the package list 
can be used to make sure you get all of the same software installed.
