CentOS would be my primary OS of choice, but I suppose it would be
good to make the code more portable, and accommodate other Linux
distro's, and probably OS's (probably only limited to the *nix family)
as well. Some of my friends prefer Debian.
Apart from the packaging, different paths to programs (Apache, MySQL,
Exim, etc), and init scripts, I don't think this would be too
difficult to accomplish. There are other differences I obviously need
to look out for as well, since configuration files on different
systems could be in different places,and sometimes even have different
layouts, but even this should be as simple as keeping a list of
options per distro being used.
