How can I manage my genealogy data on Ubuntu?
I use several genealogy applications on Windows.
What applications for genealogy are available on Ubuntu and how would I move my current genealogy data to Ubuntu?
Native clients
GRAMPS Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Program
sudo apt-get install gramps
LifeLines Console based genealogy software to help with family history research
sudo apt-get install lifelines
Web

GeneoTree Genealogy software in PHP / MySQL. To download
GeneWeb Uses very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing. To download
Java
GenealogyJ Full-featured viewer and editor for genealogic data. To download
I will give you only a technical opinion, but you should experiment with the Ubuntu repository, it's full of nice software.
There is Gramps (sudo apt-get install gramps
to install it from a console).
To obtain your data export it in the GEDCOM format on Windows and transfer it with any media on Linux. Import the transferred data in Linux with the import
option.
A note: if you have a lot of data use Lifelines instead of Gramps, because it is capable of managing a great amount of data without a great loss of performance.
Ask if you need more help.
