Some do some don't. The only way to find out is to try.
The reverse is also true. Suse rpms don't always
work on Redhat. Alot depends on the complexity of the rpm.
Simple rpms which just put a file in /usr/bin
will probably work; but things like X apps
will fail to install.
Alot of redhat rpm's will stop and say that they depend
on "linuxconf" which is "redhat's yast".
Similarly, a suse rpm will stop on a redhat
system saying it requires yast.
