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.

The encryption key is stored in the luks header on the disk and the phrase or key to open the encryption key can be entered at boot or after via the keyboard or from a file (usually a usb drive). So long as the luks header and encrypted data are not damaged and so long as you have the phrase or key that opens the encryption key it should survive the move. Take a dd backup of the disk just in case.
