Using dd to transfer partition

[a monkey]

Now, dd is supposed to be able to transfer my linux partitions and their 
contents over to another drive, correct? I just bought a brand new eMac 
G4, and would like not to have to reinstall Linux on it. I want to just 
transfer all of my linux partitions and there contents over to my new 
eMac, in a snap. Does anybody know how I would do this? Any help 
appreciated.
