I too am fond of Clonezilla.

But I just upgraded my own laptop to a 128GB SSD... and that seemed to me
like a good time for a complete fresh OS reinstall -- which is what I often
do when it's HD upgrade time, anyway; bitrot is a bastard.

So now I have a nice spandy-new SuSE 12.1(but it's really .0 and we just lied)
install, which is much better behaved.  (Though of course the installer won't
put KDE 3.5 in for you, which is actually usable as opposed to KDE4, which is
not, so you have to install XFCE first, and then YAST in the appropriate 
packages...)

Cheers,
