Sharing /home between slack13 & Salix?

[wingevil]

I want to install Salix on my comp beneth the existent slack13. A 16 GB Partition is reserved for Salix-root.

The other partitions are all assigned to the slack13-installation, so my question is: Can I use the existent /home-partition from slack13 for Salix also without problems? (Note: the user under slack13 and Salix should be the same login-name, it's easier to memorize!)

Of course you can.

Sharing home partition should be possible with every distribution

thank you for your advise. I've just installed it, but took a different login-name. I guess, I would be running into problems with the same login-name under both distros because of different personal config-files for same "services" such as customized .desktop-files for xfce or .bashrc an so on...

you can also use the same username with different home directories. Since I'm also too lazy to remember another user name, I used this trick to overcome the problem.
