Still back up you stuff as you never know.Thanks Firenice for your reply - sorry, just need to clarify as I didn't put my question clearly. My question was an 'either/or' type - which one are you saying yes to - ? :-\ Thanks.
Now I'm not certain, but if you use a different username for each distro would it keep folders seperate??
And, If home isnt on its own partition, it will be seperate for each distro.
Hope it clarifies, as it depends how you installed 2.8
