Upgrade Suggestions



I'm looking for some suggestions and recommendations on the following
upgrade. I have Redhat 7.0 running on an old Dell Optiplex Pentium 150 with
64 Meg of RAM. I'm looking to buy replacement hardware, AMD Duron 750, with
256 Meg RAM, but no hard drive. I'd like to move the hard drive into the new
hardware, so pretty much everything is going to change,
motherboard/processor, NIC, and video.

Is it likely that the system will not even start? It's only running text
based on startup, no gui, so I figure that will help. Can anyone suggest how
to handle this upgrade? I'd also like to upgrade it to 7.1, but I figured
I'd do an upgrade once the system was up and running on the new hardware.

I don't mind doing a reinstall if that's what should be done, but I have the
following things running that I wouldn't want to have to reconfigure if I
could help it. Bind8, Sendmail (SMTP and POP3), Samba, SSH, and Apache.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
James
