Hi Folks,

Got a Fedora Core 6 system that the motherboard and processor have both gone capput! Just wondered what the chances are of me taking the hard drive out and sticking it in a new machine and it working like a dream were?

Nearly 100% so long as you don't change architectures. :)

Oh, and you need to ensure that your hard disks are in the same configuration, or else edit fstab diligently...
A transfer of Ubuntu from my ancient system to my new one went swimmingly, I don't think it even noticed.
