Well, not really. Distributions have different forms of package
management, some have BSD style initiation files, some System V. Some have
helpful utilities, some don't. But the basic stuff remains the same.
Probably the hardest hit would be migrating from a BSD to System V or vice
versa, or from a non-package managing distribution to one that does.

Another point is, some distributions don't even consider the Linux
Filsystem Standard (Slackware? :) and some do with a passion, for example
Debian. Some are a mix, like Redhat. Some also include useful X based
configuration utilities and stuff.

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
