Other than differing "packaging" methods, which there are usually tools
to handle, so long as the distribution you have includes everything that
the application requires (dependencies), any application for a
particular processor should work on any distribution for that processor.
Any source code distribution of an application ***should*** work with
any processor on which Linux is running so long as it isn't doing
something quirky for a particular machine.

Not always as easy of an installation as is the case with OS/2, but
better than the situation under Micro$oft ;)
