There is no significant difference between "Unix" and Linux distributions,
but there are differences between different shells. But of course
different distributions might have different programs and different paths
to programs. This also holds true for different versions of Unix.

Do you have any example of such problematic differences?

In most Linux distributsions csh is a symbolic link to tcsh which is
supposed to be enhanced but completely compatible with csh. So what kind
of trouble do you get? What kind of "Unix" does your script come from?
