Re: [LINUX_Newbies] swapping mobo with installed CentOS 5

 

Ok man, there are no problems. You system will work perfectly, 'cause unlike
Windows Linux is a modular kernel. On the next boot (already on new
motherboard) all of your hardware will be re-detected, and the correct
modules will be loaded.
The only "problem" that can happen is your NIC appear as "eth1", because
"eth0" is already "remembered" from the old motherboard... (just edit udev
rules to correct this)

PS: Sorry by my poor english.
