As a straight question, is there really that much that is different?

To solve a problem with authentication or X would you not look at the 
logs to work out what the problem is?

Pam, X, IPtables, ftpserver work the same and would have the same 
problems on all platforms.

Even loading extra modules to support different hardware I would expect 
to work similarly in different hardware.

Kind regards
