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

[gold_finger]

The /home directory(or partition) normally holds user program configuration files in addition to the user's data files.  It is possible that some of those config files may cause conflicts from one distro to the next, even if both distros have same base (Ubuntu for instance).  What I do to get around that potential problem is keep all data files on a separate partition that gets used by all distros and let each distro have their own /home.  By doing that, each distro's home only ends up containing the config files it needs along with links to the data on that separate partition.  It looks and acts like a normal setup, but the data is not physically on that /home.

Here is a tutorial describing how to do that:  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=203.0.  When using a separate data partition like that, I don't bother making /home a separate partition -- I just let it reside on the same partition as root.  If you decide to still make /home as a separate partition, just keep in mind that it doesn't need to be very big because it's only holding config files.
