at first there is no direct relation from TYPO3 to the OS
bit the OS version may decide the Version of PHP! and so there migth be 
a dependency.
TYPO3 4.2 already requires PHP 5 [1] but not neccessaryly the now 
available and used versions

since 6.0 the requirement is lifted to 5.3.8

your new OS provides a PHP version and you may change it but it has to 
match your TYPO3 installation: the TYPO3 core AND all active extensions.

possibly the core update will not be much problematic, but the 
extensions: either you have TER-extensions, where much has changed since 
TYPO3 4.2. But there could be update-scripts!

individual extensions, not serviced since TYPO3 4.2 will be more 
problematic.

first: since 4.6 obsolete marked parts of the core are really removed 
from core and usage will break the installation. these obsolte parts 
need to be replaced.
The other reat breaking change is the introduction of FAL and namespaces 
in 6.0 which results in a lot of changes to most extensions. that also 
may include extensions from TER which may not be ready for 6.2
