Dual Booting LL 2.0 with other Ubuntu (14.04) based distros

I used symlinks myself for a while and they worked fine.  Then, out of curiosity (like you), I tried doing it with bind -- which works well also.  Originally I learned how to use bind from this post:  http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=74321.  (His options #2 and #3 are best for what you want to do.  I happened to pick option #3 in case you're interested.)  In that post, the author states this about advantage of using bind vs. symlinks:

I should note that another way to accomplish all this is simply to create a symbolic link from one location to the next. However, I live in a very networked environment with a combination of Windows, Macs, and Linux machines so I use Samba and the Samba client cannot follow symbolic links without modifying config files which Samba does not recommend.
