I'm thinking seperate boots, seperate /s, and shared > swap and home. Hello Iain, I've been sharing the swap partition between 2 or more Linux distros for over 2 years now without problems. But I've never tried sharing the home partition. I would think that if you installed xyz application from 1 distro, then installed xyz application with perhaps a different version number in the 2nd distro, the .xyz directory in /home might get altered from the 2nd install and cause problems when you returned to the 1st distro and ran xyz application. If you have the courage to try sharing /home partitions, let me know how it works for you. I might give it a try. Best Regards, Stephen.
