From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you installing the system on this hard drives? If not and they're just attachments for additional storage, then you should have no problem.
If there's an OS installed on them that you want the data from and you didn't separate your /home folder, you'll have to copy that data to another drive, remove/replace the OS installation, and then copy the data back.
Others say that I can drop my is drive into a new PC. I'll back it up and try that, if not I'll just do a fresh install.
