I've TRIED to copy programs from Suse to Redhat. It doesn't work. They crash and burn for lack of proper DLL's. These are not the same OS!
YM "Windows to Redhat".;) (Linux doesn't have DLLs, and I copy stuff between SuSE and Redhat distributions of Linux regularly. Not little programs, either...I've successfully compiled uqwk (an offline Usenet newsreader) on a SuSE box, taken the binary to both Redhat AND Debian boxen, and the darn thing *works*.:)
Now to run stuff that requires DLLs, you need a little utility called Wine. I've never seen a huge use for it myself, though.:)
