[TriLUG] Ubuntu migration

A few of things that might bite you.

There is a file called /etc/blkid.tab that really has no business being
in /etc. It's a cache of what block devices were seen sometime before.
That file SHOULD live in /var. Remove it, if possible.

Ethernet interfaces might also come up with different numbers. Mine were
eth2 and eth3. That was in /etc/udev/rules.d... there is a file that
associates a MAC address with a eth#. You can remove that file too, and
it'll be rebuilt.

And as always, look at /etc/fstab to make sure the entries look OK,
whether they are disk partition names (/dev/sda1) or UUID's.
