+** Copying configs to a different linux system
+
+Using the method described below one can use ck
+to copy the configs to a different linux system.
+In this example we assume we have the ck instance we created
+above and we want to copy some configs to our new VPS.
+
+We will also assume that the VPS' username is different
+that the one on our desktop (=ckuser= in our example).
+
+**** Start at the desktop by exporting the ck files
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  you@desktop -> ck export
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** Copy the resulting tar file to the server
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  you@desktop -> scp ck.tar.gz ckuser@server:/home/ckuser
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** Now we ssh to the server
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  you@desktop -> ssh ckuser@server
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** Start by untaring the archive & installing ck
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  ckuser@server -> tar zxf ck.tar.gz
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** Move the //version_control_dir// and //secer_dir// to where you want them to be
+**** Move the //ckrc// and //ckdb// files where you want ck config home to be
+**** Edit //ckrc// and change the *home_dir* to /home/ckuser
+**** Also change //secret_dir// and //version_control_dir// to where you placed them before
+**** Make sure ck will find your config by default by setting the $CK_CONFIG environment variable
+     Edit bashrc to make this permanent.
+ #+BEGIN_SRC sh
+   ckuser@server -> export CK_CONFIG=/where/you/have/ckrc/and/ckdb
+ #+END_SRC
+
+     Note, you might not have to use this if you use one of the default config locations.
+     ck will first check $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ck and then $HOME/.ck so using either one of these will do.
+**** Remove any existing conflicting configs
+**** Restore your configs
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+  ckuser@server -> ck restore zsh
+  ckuser@server -> ck restore emacs
+#+END_SRC
