Hi,
This might be a stupid question, but I'm planing to change the motherboard and processor in my Ubuntu box from an AMD x64 setup to an Intel x64, leaving everything else except the motherboard, processor and RAM the same. Will I need to do anything to my Ubuntu installation to keep things working?
I know on Windows it makes no difference, but just wondered if the linux kernels are compiled specifically for different processors. I want to avoid a headache if at all possible!
Thanks.
