It's likely to cause problems after a short time, as the 2 OS's will vary in the way they handle config files & pkgs wb updated at different times & to different versions. Try having separate homes, but symlink most of your subdirs in Ubuntu -- since you are likely to stop using it soon -- to those in Gentoo. The subdirs to symlink wb those which contain your personal stuff -- documents, pictures, whatever -- , which won't vary with OS. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
