there is a little anoyance to be aware of:
the path to the skins is stored with the directory view. Since windows and
linux use different path separator the path is allways wrong on the "other"
system.
This can be easily rectified by manually editing each skins respective
property.
I uploaded a reciepe to zope-labs that does it for you
