| From: Giles Orr <[email protected]> | In theory it should be the program's problem: you're a loyal user | who's been using their product for a while, the program should | recognize and convert/update from previous formats.
I've worried about the same problem. And a variant: sometimes I have several distros on the same machine and I'd love to share /home. I don't do it because I don't trust it to work. I even worry about sharing /home between different releases of the same distro. Going forward seems to mostly work. I don't know about going backward. I wish that the . files were it some place other than ~. Or that there was some other solution. Some of my . files are universal, for all systems (eg. .joverc). Others are specific, often in ways I don't even understand. For example, what's .dbus? .cache? What's in .gnome2 and .gnome2_private? $PATH says how to search for executables. Perhaps we need something like that for searching for . files (ending with /etc/skel?). --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
