I would suggest keeping your setup intact - either rsync your old
machine to the new disks, or keep the old disks. This is the way to
ensure nothing changes. But if you do wish to change OS, then just copy
all the config files (Samba, CUPS), the Samba TDBs, and keep the same
machine name. It should work :-)
