Subject: Re: VMs vs using several /home directories in a partition? Good morning,

this thread should be moved to the support mailinglist, as it is no longer factory-related.

Indeed. .

Are you sure that all of the linux installations use the same uid/gid for your user? If not, then you will run into trouble.

If you are using different usernames and only us the same partition for /home on each linux, then you should be fine. /home/user1 will be used on one distribution and /home/user2 on another.

That is in fact what I am doing, as mentioned several times, my user names are a little more "creative" than "user1" and "user2" but not radically different--just something to distinguish one from two, etc. Hopefully this will clear that point up and we can move on to more interesting discussions?? It does seem that no matter which decision is made in this world "running into trouble with it" will follow, at some point.

Kind Regards, Johannes
