R help - Nov 2002 - Running R away from windows (to Linux)

I want to migrate my R workspace databases (e.g., .Rdata) from Windows to Linux.
The R help file for "save" says that "[a]ll R platforms use the
XDR representation of binary objects in binary save-d files, and these are
portable across all R platforms."

Is it is simple as that?  Copy the Windows .Rdata file to the Linux .ext3 file
system?


Thanks,

Derek

Yes. That's how it is supposed to work. 

(I'd keep the originals just in case, by superstition.)

I've done that and it "seemed" to work.
