Hi everyone!

I have a shared /home between windows, Ubuntu and a couple of alternative Gnu/Linux installs.

Are there any other directories that can safely/easily share a partition?

Can I have my installed programs available to me in any distro if, for example, I share lib and usr and etc ?

Thanks!

You should only share data directories with other systems. Each system may write settings that are not compatible with another system. You cannot share /home with windows.
