I've got a SuSE 8.0 Linux box running here at home - it pretty much handles the internet for me, including firewalling. I want to upgrade the motherboard and processor, mostly because I'll have to do it someday and now seems like a good time. What I'm wondering is will Linux come back up on the new board, or is it gonna throw a fit?
I'm going from an i810 to i815 chipset, so that shouldn't be a major change. All the basic stuff will be the same or compatible. My major worry is the network cards - I'll be keeping the two existing ones, but will the drivers recognize them in new PCI slots with new resources? Moreover, will they retain the some aliases - it would be a true nightmare to have to crawl through everything that's running on the box and update it.
Anyone have any thoughts or sage advice?
Thanks!
