Hmmm...are you talking architecture differences or distribution
differences? I've had trouble with both, but not necessarily at the same
time. What problems are you having (specifically)? This request is a bit
too vague, IMO.

I've had tons of experience porting things to 64-bit platforms, as well as
porting things to Linux itself (regardless of architecture). Each
distribution has it's own nuances and quirks, most of which can be easily
gotten around (since most are just differences in file locations).

Hehehehe...experience is something I have tons of (as do most of the
people on this list...working on Alphas frequently involves recompiling
things and/or patching them so that they will work properly...most of the
world seems to be 32-bit-centric).
