i'd say don't bother with dd - just copy the disk over the network using
rsync from single user mode.
you can do this easily by booting the new machine from a knoppix cd and
formatting the disks with whatever fs you want.

the disadvantage of dd is that it will only be the size of your old disk
and requires trickery to resize the filesystems
