Hi,

at home I run, osx, windows and freebsd, all work fine with D.

However our servers at work run linux RHEL5, RHEL6.4 and our 
workstations run Ubuntu... can i use feodora rpm for rhel?

  If I want to build a d program which works on all dists, can i 
build that from any linux machine since dmd links statically by 
default or should I chose the oldest, i.e rhel5 to build on? 
because of possible glibc issues?

Its not so clear from the download page, it only mentions dist 
name, not version... and rhel not at all?

Thanks

Using machine with oldest glibc among all targets should 
generally work however recommended way to distribute software in 
Linux world is via distro-specific packages each built on own 
system. Common binary distributions are likely to work in most 
cases but no one gives you any guarantees for that - each distro 
is effectively a different operating system.
