I'm in the process of switching from windows to ubuntu myself.  The biggest 
issue is finding all of the directory path references and switching them from 
windows to linux nomenclature. I've got one I still can't find!

As to the file bases, when you copy everything to linux, you'll need to change 
the file base directory paths using "./mystic -cfg"  Same for the message 
bases.  The data/files will be there.

Good luck!
