Can I transfer my bookmarks from Windows 10.53 to Ubuntu 10.1?

I want to play with Ubuntu 10.1 and have installed Opera 10.1. Can I just copy/paste my adr file from Windows or will that cause problems?

Thanks Tamil, I tried Opera Link and while it was easy enough to set up it seems to me that only some of the bookmarks made it across? Does it take a while to synchronize? In some cases I can only see the folders but no contents?

You can use Stu's Opera Settings Import & Export Tool, too.

It comes in Windows and Linux (GTK2) flavors and allows you to im- and export whole profiles or selected Items between the different OSs and installations. But be aware: The files will be overwritten, not merged.
