Hi all,

I\'m migrating from Win to Linux, with a workunit in progress (around 50 hours done).

Is there a graceful way to copy the project files/folders from Windows and make them used by the Linux client, without loosing any data?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, it's actually not a good idea as the compilers/output are not "byte compatible" so weird things can happen!

Oh, okay. So I guess I'll start a new work unit under Linux then. Thanks for your answer!
