Can you port software designed for red hat Linux to fedora Linux?
Generally speaking, you don't need to "port" software from one distro to another. If the necessary libraries are present, the binary should work without modification. If the libraries are different or unavailable, you recompile. If you don't have source code for the binary, you use a container.
Should data files be in the same directories as the software?
This depends somewhat on the operating system and what conventions are used there. In Linux and most Unix systems, data files are usually placed in a separate location from the binary. In Windows, data files are often placed along with the binary. If the program includes shared libraries that may be used by other programs, though, those should be placed in a separate folder.
