As it happens, Linux is very good at adapting itself for different
hardware. It is not MS-Windows XP.
I had the experience of having been forced to perform an emergency upgrade
of my PC's motherboard. At the time I had both MS-Windows and Linux
partitions on my hard disk.
Microsoft's software did not make the transition without having to upgrade
some obscure drivers. Linux ran on the new hardware, without any need for
modifications whatsoever.
In your case, you may need to provide for:
1. Kernel with all relevant modules compiled (in my simple case, the
default kernel did fine).
2. Some individualized configuration files (such as IP address, host
name).
Linux will take care of all the rest.
