G'day ChuckL, The wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse set he has is several years old and has worked on six other systems. At the moment he sometimes takes between two desktops and a laptop, so it can't be hardware locked to a system - but the newer ones may have that issue, I don't know.
Some advice for setting up a hard drive, if you don't already do this. Create three logical drives, one of around 20GB for the system, one for the size of the swap file wanted, and around 20GB or more for the Home directory. I've been doing this for years and whenever I have to rebuild a system I point at the Home drive and set that as the Home directory. The result is when I'm rebuilding using the OS it picks up most of my personal settings from the Home directory. When I rebuilt using Ubuntu 11.04 after killing the rubbish Ubuntu 11.10 I found I had to reformat the drive with the operating system or it would crash while loading, but it accepted and used all my personal settings from the data stored in the Home directory.
