Well, not really -- there are binaries for the specific distributions
due to the minor differences betweeen them (such as versions of certain
libraries). The source code is generic to any distribution however.

I hate to say this (I use Debian ;) ), but most people will probably use
RedHat, Mandrake, or SuSE.
