Yes, if by "computer" you mean "x86 PC" :-)

There is of course the bootloader issue. The simple, built-in (floppy
only) bootloder seems to work on many PCs (such as Robert Strandhs
laptop in Oslo, for one random example), but then again I seem to
remember some report that it didn't work on some toshiba laptop. The
Grub loader is probably safer, it seems they managed to break Grub for
386 again, so it's not entirely rock solid either.
