The reports and the like are stored under ~/.gnucash/ under Linux.  This is 
*separate* from the account (books) file, which only has the bookkeeping data. 
I am not sure where the ~/.gnucash/ data is stored under MS-Windows.  It is 
probably whereever MS-Windows stored "preferences".  You need to copy the 
files there over to your Linux's ~/.gnucash/ directory. ("~/" is your Linux 
"Home" directory).
