Aaaahhhh... the microsoft mentality wins out even here :-) Just before 
Easter I too upgraded my 11 year old hardware. I moved my old 
spinning rust to the new hardware, and it just booted.

I did have a little bit more trouble getting the new SSD to boot after 
dd'ing across the contents of the old disk - but I never did get my head 
around these new fangled uuid's (I had forgot that the dd duplicated the 
disk uuid!!!! whoops), and grub2 must one of the most opaque pieces of 
software ever! But even that was quicker than a reinstall, and putting 
back my custom mail, syslog, nfs etc, etc configs

But of course YMMV.
