How hard it is depends on how well you know Linux. Depending on your
Linux flavor and configuration, you may or may not have to compile
MapServer from source code (that is, if pre-compiled binaries
satisfying your needs are not available). If your application itself
is pure CGI then, provided you have MapServer installed correctly, you
should have little problem. Of course, you will have to redefine your
data paths and what not. Sorry, but this answer can't be more specific
than this as the question itself is not specific enough.

I am not sure which application of Steve you are referring to... I am
assuming MapServer, no? In that case, your question is answered above.


Hope this helps.
