Hi
A quick and maybe stupid question from an Ubuntu newbie:
I have an Ubuntu 8.04 server installation on an AMD Sempron with 3gig RAM, and my budget has allowed me to upgrade the CPU to a slightly newer cpu, AMD x2 7750 2.5GHz. My question is, can I upgrade the cpu without having to re-install the Ubuntu 8.04 server os, or do I have to re-install?
If I do need to re-install the os, is there a way of doing this without loosing precious settings and installed programs and my apt-cacher package cache?
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks
Craig
