Move replicated database to a new server

I have the intention to move SQLserver (used with dynamic merge replication,
also distributor) from an old server to a new one. Can I copy all the files
to the new server without reconfiguration?
If the server has the same netbios name then restoring master, msdb,
distribution and the published database is a possibility. Have a look in BOL
for the topic "Strategies for Backing Up and Restoring Merge Replication".
