I never thought of having a separate /home partition. Maybe I’ll try it next time I install Ubuntu. (I’m afraid of trashing Vista’s bootloader, atm.)

Booting multiple *nix with the same /home would only work under one condition, that you magically got the same UID on both systems, else your permissions will be fucked and you most likely wont be able to log in ;)

Also, its not really a ‘feature’, its not quite so intentional as a side effect of effective programming.

@Thomas: Most *nix Distro’s do this now, including Slackware, FreeBSD,Arch and Debian, its mianly just redhat and ubuntu based that don’t at the moment.

@Juan: I think I’d use an 80-gig /home, and a 20-30 gig /. Maybe 70/30-40.

@Thomas: I’m not putting my box on the line—feel free to try, though ;D

OpenBSD goes as far as recommending all new installations have separate /, /home, /var, /tmp and /usr bsd-type partitions as a minimum.

Dual-booting linux and bsd with a shared home partition may be an interesting experiment. :D

I have a 120 GiB, which is a real 110 GiB.
Thanks for your comments!
