Yes, but not necessarily the same version of awk, unfortunately. GNU/Linux tends to have new awk, whereas other, particularly commercial versions of UNIX (e.g. Solaris) retain the old awk, because replacing it would break customer scripts (or 3rd party software). I frequently have to edit scripts or Makefiles developed on Linux, and replace "awk" with "nawk" to make them work on Solaris.
