migrating from newworld to oldworld

[Seth Daniel <powerpc@sethdaniel.org>]

Hello,

I currently have a NewWorld mac (Blue and White G3) which I have debian
unstable installed on (with kernel 2.4.19-powerpc).  I will be giving
away this machine and receiving an OldWorld powermac 8600.  Is it
possible to simply remove the hard drive from the NewWorld mac and place
it in the OldWorld mac and have things work?  From what I have read it
seems like it may be possible but I am very new to the world of
powermacs, powerpcs etc...  I am not new to Linux or debian.

Thank you for any help.
