The var/Data.fs file is not platform specific. Just copy it over to any 
other Zope install (overwriting the old file), and your whole ODB is moved 
over.

You will however, need to watch that you have all the Products that you 
used in that ODB on the one machine, available on the other one as well.

I have moved several projects out of development into production this way, 
usually from one platform to another. This includes a demo copy of a site 
onto a Win98 laptop. It was developed on SGI, runs now on RedHat Linux.
