Being familiar with the restrictions imposed by Msoft if you upgrade your PC, how are things in Ubuntu? In *******s, Bill and his company are very concerned that his company's software might be installed on a machine for...for .. horror... oh horror ....for free. So, If you have ******* installed on your hard drive and you transfer this to a new mobo with a new cpu then alarm bells sound in the ******* software and all hell breaks loose. Thou has transgressed. You are assumed to be a pirate and are part of the scum of the earth, if you catch my drift.
More to the point, I would like to know what would happens if I suddenly transfer my Ubuntu hard drive to a completely different mobo and cpu. A secondary question concerns the transfer of an Ubuntu OS from an older SATA drive to a newer SATA drive that might be supported by your new hardware but wasn't supported by your older system.
What have other people done to retain their/your Ubuntu settings and data when you upgraded your hardware?
