I think that the best way to do this is to set up the new computer first
and if possible, remove the hard drive from the first system, mount it
on the new system and just copy the files. The other alternative would
be to use NFS to copy the files over.

I would presume that on 7.0, the files that you call applications are in
the html tree (/var/www/html) but could be somewhere else, depending
upon your configuration of apache.

The way you mentioned 'data', it would seem that you have some database
collecting data and you may need to do an sql dump to a file to move it.
