- Yes, but beware of programs that are system-dependent in some way and
- are not transportable, such as those that use system (/usr/include/sys)
- header file values that differ between Series. /etc/swapinfo is an
- example, but it does check and prevent execution on the wrong Series --
- most programs won't. For example, /usr/bin/sam probably won't.
