Very much possible, unless the application author makes a special effort to prevent this from happening... which is not so common. I do this all the time. If the app you are talking about is in an RPM, you may want to check out the files it installs using rpm -ql "installed rpm name" or rpm -qpl "rpm file.rpm"
the same problems as doing this on a Windows machine i.e. on Windows app info is stored in a common registry and in other places making it difficult to transfer the app to another machine without proper re-instalation. I want to prevent having to download all the same apps over the internet for installation on another machine. Mark -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
