Linux doesn't have a "safe mode," per say, but it's got 'single user mode,' in
which all the running services are killed off before it allows you (only root)
to login. It's designed to fix problems.

Uhm, I dunno.. I wouldn't do this with your regular linux drive, unless you plan
on booting linux on the other machine too. You could use a second drive for
this, formatted fat32, and mounted into your linux filesystem (save your files
there), which you can then move to another machine. Then again, why not just
network the machines?
