Using the same WU's for linux & win2k

Anyone know if there's a problem with using the same WU with both the linux & windows clients?

The reason I ask is because I dual-boot win2k & mandrake 8.2 I'd like to do WU's when using both. I don't always use linux as much as I'd like to, so I want to work on the same units as I do when using windows. That way I won't end up with units that get re-sent to others because I took too long to finish them.

I was thinking about putting everything on a FAT32 partition that I know linux can read & write to.

Is this possible or will it not work?

Yes, it should work.

I tried that before. both clients in the same folder but when I switched os's and used the other client it would start over :/

Hal's right. It set all my states back to zero when I tried to work on them in win2k. Worse, I didn't back up the files so now I've got to start from the top again
