Same here. I find Linux is pretty easy on hardware changes, as long as 
you don't use a stripped down kernel config of course. It just finds new 
hardware and goes ahead :-)... and NO you don't get double or triple 
entries in Hardware-Manager :-).
Last time I just move my RAID-Controller down one PCI-Slot..... Linux 
and BSD just didn't care, booted and worked.... Win2K needed 2 reboots 
until it stopped complaining about finding "new hardware".
