Not necessarily.  Linux is much different then Windows in this regard 
since most of the devices that it can support are already on the system 
as modules.  So it's just a matter of Kuduzu detecting the devices and 
loading up the correct modules.

If someone was swapping out a motherboard in Windows, the only solution 
would be a full reinstall for maximum stability.

But I do agree with you in that you should backup all the data before 
you do anything.  :)
