Replication – changing a server

This is very important. I have merge replication with publisher and distributor on the same server and about 20 Subscribers all over the country.
We are moving to another building, with new equipment, so Publisher will be on different server. How to make this move easily, without recreating new publication and pushing new subscribers and implementing initial snapshot, because it will destroy my network. Is there any possibility to do something like attach/detach DB (distibution and source DB), do few steps more, and to have all like it was before.
Must be. Thanks in advance.
