I have a single running server that I can't meddle with and another older machine, that can be used for testing purposes. If I install SL 6.1 on my testing machine and configure services that I want to use on it, will it be portable and work when I move the disk and boot from it on my server?
I won't do any customization to the x-server and I'll use the default drivers that are in the Linux kernel. The only problem I'm thinking about is when I set up and configure Bind and meddle with the network settings - don't know how the network interfaces are loaded or stored on Linux - will the new network card be added as another interface to the old one or will it use the old interface configuration? Or will it purge the old network settings altogether when it detects that the device is no longer present and another one is in it's place? Has anyone tried doing this? I know that in theory it should work, but don't want to fly into this blind. Cheers and thanks for any input, Marek
