Hi, I'm a new gentoo user (coming from ubuntu). I've been proving to myself that I can do everything I need with gentoo on a secondary laptop, and after a few weeks, I think I've got it (svn repos, AVR cross compiler, multiple screens, etc). I much prefer gentoo to ubuntu, and would like to put it on my primary laptop. But I think I should leave an ubuntu installation on there just in case. I'd like to have gentoo, ubunu, and win7 alongside each other.
How feasible would it be to have gentoo and ubuntu share a /home partition? I've never had a reason to have multiple linux installations on a single machine before, but I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't work. .bashrc might need a few more lines of code. .screenrc and .exrc would be fine. My ssh keys can be shared. What would happen to .mozilla if ubuntu and gentoo are running different versions of firefox? What other issues might I run into? Alternatively, is there a way to keep gentoo's and ubuntu's hidden files separate and link or map them to ~ at boot? Randy
