Sure. You can run pretty much anything in hamm that ran in bo. You just need

As you suspect, it is kernel related. Both bo and hamm have 2.0.34 kernel

One way to create a "mostly" identical server (in the sense that it
has the same packages installed as the original) is to do
dpkg --get-selections > mydebs
on the original server, and
dpkg --setselections < mydebs
on the cloned server. (Or, if you are extra clever, pipe this over the network

Gnumeric has been updated in sid a couple of times in the past
