I general applications developed for Notes are platform independent.
As Gus said there are minor differences with Formulas and Scripts that use or interact with the underlying operating system.
Also the look and feel might be different.
What makes apps platform dependent is when you use DLLs or third party products. I.e. your app includes a chart from Excel and updates it by OLE -> Windows world only.

Thanks Hendry for your excellent reply.
hope my app won't cause any problem on Linux as since i'm developing it on windows environment and will be implementing on linux.

There are minor differences, if you check in the help file, u will see a topic about the differences of Lotus Script under Mac and Linux, and basically these have to do with the file system (and a few other areas), and how you interact with files, such as 'ChDir'. Also like the function (Environ) which returns a value from the operating system, I think Linux will have different variables to find the version or the OS directory or other data about the OS than Windows.
