I am assuming that you have created the linux tree from CVSlatest.tgz 
(or done a git clone).

The best way of doing this is to:

* sudo apt-get install git-core
* stop the windows node
* zip up your complete \spider directory
* copy the zipfile to the linux box (into /tmp)
* unzip the copy so that it overwrites your spider directory on the 
linux box.
* then cd /spider
* git reset --hard; git pull

Then

* cd /spider/data
* rm users.v3
* perl user_asc

then

* cd /spider/perl
* ./cluster.pl

and it will spring into life (assuming you have all the recommended 
packages installed).
