If by "it" you mean an executable compiled correctly for the 
platform in question, then Yes in both cases.

Assuming a correctly compiled Linux executable, all that's required 
is a Linux system with GTK 2.6.N (N >= 0) installed -- or, if you 
are not using features that are new to 2.6.N, a Linux system with 
GTK 2.4.N installed, or (and so on) down to a Linux system with GTK 
2.0.N installed.
