Given that CentOS and Oracle are close rebuilds of RHEL (in the case of
CentOS an exact as trademarks allow) then you can expect anything built
on CentOS to work on those distributions. You can also expect it to work
on Scientific Linux which is another RHEL rebuild.

Amazon Linux is also another RHEL rebuild though with enhancements to
make it work better on their cloud. In particular it has a much more
recent kernel. It is not surprising that it works on this with minimal
modifications.

While RHEL is based off Fedora there are substantial differences and in
particular Fedora has much more recent packages than RHEL, uses systemd
rather than SVSV init scripts and other differences. The current RHEL6
is based of Fedora 13 or so from memory. RHEL7 when it comes out (likely
to be soon) is based on a mix of Fedora 18/19. If you have it working on
a supported Fedora it is likely to make getting it working on RHEL7 much
easier.

SuSE is a completely different animal, and it is unlikely that it will
work without significant work.
