I normally use the same username but a different home directory, so my Gentoo home directory is /home/nelz and my SUSE one would be /home/nelz-suse. That way you can keep the same username, and UID, in both distros and not run into permission problems. Sharing directories can then be done simply with symlinks. However, for one app, a VM would probably be a better solution. Not only would it save all this hassle, it would also save having to reboot every time you wanted to run the program. -- Neil Bothwick One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet when well oiled.
