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.
If home is its own partition  (you used the something else during install) it would be preserved and could be shared... 2.8 configs would be there for 3.0 to use or any other distro.. Configs could pose a problem.
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
