I don't think Linux cares to much with hardware updates.  I had Madrake 9
or 9.1 (can't remember which now) on my home PC, then I went out and got a
new Motherboard, graphics card, CPU and RAM and it booted straight back up,
no problems (it detected I had a new video card and configured it during
boot-up).
