Hi guys.
Possibly an odd question this, but is it possible to install several Linux distros and have them share the same /home partition on disk, or could the settings from one distro interfere with another?
Basically, I have a dual-boot Virista and Ubuntu Hardy, with Hardy having it's own 10GB partition as well as a 170GB ext3 /home partition (shared with *******). However, I've also purposely kept a couple of 10GB partitions empty so I can test other distros. Would setting these the same /home partition as Hardy ruin some of my Hardy settings?
I do not believe I have to format a /home partition, so that would be a blessing!
