At one point I dd'd my hard drive to an external one (block-by-block copied) and booted a bunch of different computers around campus and at work from it. Linux handles switching around like that just fine. The worst problem you're gonna get is that X isn't automatically working if the video cards have different manufacturers. That just takes a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" (it asks which <i>pre-installed</i> driver and which resolution to use) to fix. With the next Ubuntu release, it won't even take that. Xorg.conf is going out of commission. Right now, I just type "xrandr --auto" and it autodetects my screen's max resolution and goes to that. It doesn't even have to restart X anymore. The screen blinks and everything's fine. <br /> <br /> A kernel panic from switching boxes, though? You'd have to be trying to go from x86 to PowerPC....and hell...I'd like to see Windows try to run on PowerPC at all. I've cited this before as a sign that Windows is stupid.

I figured I’d run into a few snags….I was totally wrong.
