I have a dual-boot Linux system.  Debian 3.0 (Woody), and SuSE 8.0 (Prof).,
on separate drives sharing a common machine  (Pentium III at 600 MHz).

Both work well, and I am enjoying learning the differences between them,
running
them as separate alternatives.

Would it be inadvisable to have a third hard disk drive  on the same shared
machine,
which is mountable on either distro, in order to enable files from (say)
Debian to be transfered
into SuSE,   (or vice-vers) or would I be asking for trouble ?

Can I use a common  device  (say)  /dev/hdc  as  a common part of two
partition systems ?

A possible use would be to YaST/ RPM into Debian, or APT/ DEB into SuSE.

Best regards,

Geoff Bagley
