I've run multi-boot systems too, and I shied away from sharing my home |
| 9 |
directory between them - there was too much risk of different versions of, |
| 10 |
say, kmail running in the two systems and clobbering each other's data. So |
| 11 |
I created a ~/common/ partition for things I wanted to be always available. |

I still operate that way, even though I haven't made much use of any other |
| 14 |
distros in the last year or two. |
