I've done this (Win to Linux) a few times with my BBS. The biggest thing to
watch out for is paths. Windows (FAT32 or NTFS really) is a case-insensitive
file system but Linux isn't. In your configs there will likely be paths that
are capitalized or in all uppercase but the actual folder isn't.
Other than that it is pretty straight forward. Read through sbbsunix.txt on
synchro.net
