I want to have my /home on a separate partition in order to have my data available to all the installed distributions. The obvious thing is to have UIDs consistant in all the distros, but are there more things to consider? Anyone has experience with that? Any hists? I'm concerned about the dotfiles in my home directory, e.g. won't my .kde become corrupt if I switch between different versions of KDE? Thanks in advance, Krzysztof
