Agree, the Ubuntu installer is quite smart. It recognizes and installs
all OS it finds on the hard disks.

What partitions are you referring to?
I share /home and swap between 3 distros (Ubuntu, CentOS, openSUSE) on
my laptop. Of course, one needs to map the mnemonic user/group names
to the uid/gid of the booted distro; but a one liner "chown -R
${1}: . " does it for me. Alternately, you can set the mnemonic
user/group names to the same uid/gid numbers in all the distro files.
