Answer 1

The user table exists in all versions of mysql. You would need to create the users in the linux database when you switch to linux. How to create a user is available in this link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-user.html

You can compare the password as plain text unless you encrypt it. I think it should work fine.
