Yes, OS on HD. Use the instruction in the FAQ's and wiki to copy the boot tracks to the new HD. And make a copy of the boot tracks for when ever a drive fails, so you can recover.

Ok, Done That. My 250GB Replacement Disk came. I installed it, dd'ed the contents and reinitialised the drive. Format gave me 233GB usable space (not a very efficient filesystem, is it?).
Thats all good, except that the transfer rates are still really slow. Only difference now is that they vary from 200Kbytes/s to 1,2Mbytes/s.
Is this really the best transfer rate I can hope for with smb/cifs networking? Would any of the other OS'es provide better performance??
