I'm partitioning off a portion of my hard disk for dual-booting Linux with Windows.
There's enough space to install two distros, so is it better to keep the them apart, or can I safely share partitions between them, like the swapfile, /home, /usr... etc?
The first ones on will be Fedora and Ubuntu, one of which will stay. Then I'll continue to try out other the flavours of Linux.
If I am to keep them apart, how well does it work to install two distros on the same drive, with identical partition names?
