I've not moved VM's between Windows and Linux, but it works fine going back and forth between OS X and Windows. The only caveat being that you have to re-visit the VM's settings for things like host volume mapping and especially networking config.

Seems like the .vdi files are configured relative, so at least this should go automatically.

Host volume mapping is a folder shared between the host and the VM?

Bought a 128GB USB 3.0 stick. Works like a charm.

Hosts:

Notebook runs Linux Mint 17 with VirtualBox 5.0

Desktop runs Windows 7 with VirtualBox 4.3 (5.0 ha an issue on Win7 that Oracle won't fix, but prevent my VM from starting)

Guest:

Xubuntu 15.04 with the VirtualBox 5.0 Guest Additions
