For years I had a lot of if-then logic in my personal .bashrc (and related) files to handle logging into HPUX, Solaris, and Linux. Basically there are differences and you have to programmatically work around them, possibly modifying the default /etc/skel files. Running desktop UIs could have problems too. Right now I can log into several different flavors of Linux with my home directory and i have had problems with the various versions of Gnome trying to share my config files. KDE tends to be more forgiving of this kind of thing than Gnome.
