If its only one app, why not use a small vm (qemu, vbox etc.)? - best of |
| 2 |
both worlds. |

Also, why only on Suse? - you can often work around differences with |
| 5 |
ld-preload and other tricks. |

Hi all, |
| 20 |
I usually use Gentoo as my "normal" Linux but a third party app I'm |
| 21 |
about to start using only runs on SUSE. To this end, I'm about to set |
| 22 |
aside a smaller partition and install the minimal amnount of SUSE I need |
| 23 |
to run the app. My question is regarding /home and swap. Is there |
| 24 |
anything in my current Gentoo /home and swap that "locks" them to the |
| 25 |
Gentoo install or can I share them between the two installs? What I mean |
| 26 |
by share is that when I boot up Gentoo can I mount /home and swap and |
| 27 |
everything is fully accessible and then reboot into SUSE and once again |
| 28 |
mount them and everything is once again fully accessible? |
| 29 |
|

I'm not doing anything "snazzy" such as LVM or encryption, just bog |
| 31 |
standard Linux. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. |
