I'm getting ready to install Mandrake 8.0, the 3 CD set, and may decide to add other systems later. Can someone tell me which partitions are safe to share between different Linux systems? I understand that /home and swap can be shared safely but are there any others? Also, what size should the partitions be if the systems are for a single user (besides root) who is just learning Linux, no special application except perhaps installing a few utility programs. I have two hard drives and was thinking of putting Mandrake's / on one drive and the special partitions on the other drive. Good idea or not???
