is it possible to copy&paste the config folder from Windows to Gnu&Linux
As a general rule of thumb, yes.
The major exceptions are:
* executable and quasi-executable files. (Mainly, but not exclusively
extensions.)
* Junk that the OS wants/requires. (This is mainly, but not exclusively
a Windows thing.)
Galleries don't always "take" as expected.
Fonts don't work. (I have no idea why they are in that directory in the
first place. Unless the config folder I tried transferring has things
left over from OOo 1.x.)
and to Mac?
I don't have a Mac, and don't have access to a Mac. Pre Mac OS X, you
couldn't do that, because a file was constructed from two different,
separate strings of bits.
Since Mac OS X is based upon BSD, it should be possible, with the same
caveats as switching between Linux and Windows.
