I think that you only need one /home and create /home within each distro, 
but without a partition.  Make a link from each of these /home's to the 
real /home.

If you have some time, I'd like to ask you about adding a 2nd or 3rd 
distro.  I can't seem to get my head around how certain things are done 
regarding more than 1 distro.

Let me know if you have the time.  I don't want to go to the group, as I've 
asked before and can't seem to get an answer, as if they don't understand 
my question.  I don't know.
