linux - Are operating systems able to run on different hardware?

My friend boots Linux from an external hard disk (500 GB). My question is he installs the operating system for one particular motherboard processor; the system may have additional stuff like a graphics card, etc, etc. What if he plugs this disk to another completely different machine and tries to boot. Will the OS load/boot?
