    Moved disk from one computer to another

    Hi everyone

    I could use some crowd-wisdom on this one. I've just switched working computers (both stationary) and I've taken the boot disk out of the old one and stuck it in the new one.

    So far, so good - everything (net connection, graphics, general system) seems to work just fine. However, being somewhat paranoid, I wonder what else I can check to make sure I haven't overlooked anything. What things should I check to make sure my old setup is compatible with the new computer?

    Thumbs down Re: Moved disk from one computer to another

    A good old fashioned

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    should take care of any missing bits I would have thought

    Likewise if there are any "un-required" bits left lying around a

    Code:
    sudo apt-get autoclean
    will shift 'em

    Couldn't do that with a windows install
    Code:
    cd /fridge/beer | drink && fallover

    Thanks, doesn't look like much more is needed - did this and the system was up to speed (had a slight bit of lagging before but that took care of it). Now just need someone with time and skills to fix the Intel drivers for i915/sandy bridge (whichever is the problem)
