Hello list |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am currently running Debian Squeeze and am considering the feasibility |
| 4 |
of switching to Gentoo due to several issues I am experiencing with a |
| 5 |
new machine with a SATA HDD and a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653Z which refuses |
| 6 |
to play audio CDs and pre-recorded DVDs. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
In any event, because I have loads of data on my /home partition, I'm |
| 9 |
curious about a few things, primarily what are the implications of |
| 10 |
dual-booting with Gentoo as my second OS, so that I can experience |
| 11 |
Gentoo without losing my data, etc. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
How compatible are Gentoo and Debian in terms of using a shared /home |
| 14 |
directory - I am concerned about uid for the directory for instance |
| 15 |
which, if I changed it for Gentoo, may not work for Debian and vice versa. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any thoughts/ suggestions? |
