I normally use the same username but a different home directory, so my |
| 8 |
Gentoo home directory is /home/nelz and my SUSE one would be |
| 9 |
/home/nelz-suse. That way you can keep the same username, and UID, in |
| 10 |
both distros and not run into permission problems. Sharing directories |
| 11 |
can then be done simply with symlinks. |

However, for one app, a VM would probably be a better solution. Not only |
| 14 |
would it save all this hassle, it would also save having to reboot every |
| 15 |
time you wanted to run the program. |

One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet |

when well oiled. |
