Swapping hardware in a Linux system such as Amahi (Fedora/Ubuntu) is very forgiving and simple for the most part. Amahi does depend, however, on having the eth0 network interface and your shares depend on having the right drives and SATA ports identified between hardware changes to avoid <i>lengthy</i> repair processes. Note that all of these apply mostly the same if you're running within a virtual machine. Some VM hypervisors abstract the parts enough that Os will no notice new hardware and not rename it (eg: eth0 to eth1).

- If anything eth0 may become eth1 afterwards, so you will need to rename it to eth0 via the Network Manager in the desktop. You'll want to reboot to finalize changes. (((<br />- use your favourite commandline editor and edit with sudo/su..{{code|$/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules}}which may look like this{{code|Code = # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.## You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single# line process coming soon, and change only the value of the NAME= key. # net device ()(custom name provided by external tool))<br />SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"}}And notice the "eth0". If it is something else, make it eth0 and save the file and reboot.
