The only problem you'll get is if you change the partitioning scheme or change network cards. Then you'll just have to edit grubs menu.lst and fstab to reflect the changes in partitioning, and edit the network settings if the network card changes. But Linux can deal with hardware changes well, that's why it's possible to make Live CDs
