blockchain sync win v/s linux

[kevin1234a]

i have 2 GB blkindex for one of the wallet on windows platform, can i use same file for the same coin's linux daemon or do i need to resync daemon with blockchain ?

For Bitcoin you can copy the files from a windows system to a linux system without problems.

For altcoins (2 GB is a bit low for bitcoin) I dont know and you should ask in the alt section.

it should work for altcoin too, at least sha256, seeing how they are a mere clone of bitcoin, but i still think that the algo does not matter here

but anyway it's just a matter of few second to try it

It won't work all time. The way Linux handles is (slightly) different from the way Windows handles.
