Loading ...dual-booting linux distros?
Can 2 linux distros (Ubuntu and openSUSE in my case) share a /home partition?
This is what I want to do:
Partition 1:
Primary Ext3 mount point “/” (openSUSE)
Partition 2:
Primary Ext3 mount point “/” (Ubuntu)
Partition 3:
Primary Ext3 mount point “/home” (Ubuntu & Suse)
Partition 4:
Logical Swap Area (Ubuntu & Suse)
Or would the hidden configuration files screw things up?

Yes they can. make your /home partitions separate and have it mounted at boot. You will need to edit /etc/fstab to make it happen.

I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t. However you may have to do some tweaking in the partition manager when you are installing.
