Q: 

XAMPP portabilty, can the same installation work on Windows 7 and Snow Leopard

I'm new to website development and used WAMP in my introductory course. My desktop runs Windows 7 but I'm planning to get a MacBook Pro laptop. Can I install XAMPP on a flash drive and use it on both systems? If so, is there any special way it should be configured when I first install it on the flash drive? What are the differences between XAMPP and the WAMP I used previously?

Many thanks. ESM
