I've found that porting to Linux has been trivial.  Just play with the makefile
to use SysV defaults and things usually go without incident.  Porting *out* of
Linux is a dream come true - as it is posix, things actually port.  I've moved
my window manager, and alot of code from linux to SunOs to the RS6K to Ultrix
etc all without incident.
