So tomorrow my work-provided computer goes back to the IT department, and I need to set up a new (old) computer.
I'm using #LinuxMint .

1. What files/folders besides /home should I transfer to keep as much of my configuration as possible?

2. What would be the fastest way to transfer files between the computers?
Can I connect them directly with an ethernet cable or wifi?
Both are laptops, one rather old.

Just updated the VIC-BBS to include Xmodem uploads and downloads. There's a complementary VIC-20 terminal program called "Saturn3" that also includes Xmodem upload and download.

So now, VIC-20 users can finally do file transfers without having to rely on a friend with a C64! Keep in mind I didn't test this much, but give it a shot if you're interested.
