Hi,
in theory it should works .... just choose during installation of new distro2
same partition you are using as /home on distro1.
(not format this partiion.... keep existing data)
Assuming that your distro1 is also 64studio.
There are also some settings files hidden on your /home partition what can be advantage or disadvantage.
(e.g. bash, iceweasel)
So when you change something on distro1 it will probably appears on distro2 also.
I personally never tried this and probably never will because of that.
And maybe there are even more problems I am not aware.
Hope someone else here give you more detailed info.

< Hi list,
<
< As a newbie I like to know if it is possible to share the /home
< directory for 2 different installs of linux
<
< Google for it but can't find an answer (maybe don't type the right
< sentence ?)
<
< Let me explain : after 5 months of tries and tries I finally have a
< Linux who almost do what I like it to.
< In the other hand, it sounds good to share the Free's Xmas Gift, and I
< never be impolite and refuse a gift.
<
< So, to try Free Ekanayaka's present, without erasing these 5 months of
< hard work for me -maybe Free and I
< don't want the same for the PC to do ?- I like to create a new partition
< on the disk, but it's not so big
< and it could be usefull if the /home directory could be share between
< the 2 installs.
<
< Do someone here says how it can be done ? Have to acknowledge I search
< but don't find the way to do !!
<
< Or maybe there is a stratagem to circumvent the problem ?
<
< Anyway, thanks for Everybody here to do what is done here, especially
< you Free !
<
< Happy New Year Eveybody !
<
< Fred
