Of course one can use the same /home partition for both distros, but this can cause trouble due to differences in the program versions. Thus I only share /home/user/Documents among the distros and have separate /home/user/.preference files, some of which I syncronize during shutdown.This is the /home/user/.unison/shared_resources.prf file:<code>jeltsch@michael-laptop:~/.unison&gt; more shared_resources.prfroot = /home/jeltsch/.kde/share/apps/kwalletroot = /suse10/home/jeltsch/.kde/share/apps/kwalletinclude default auto = true</code>And this is the command to syncronize the directories non-interactively:<code>unison -ui text -batch shared_resources</code></p>
