Minor note and question: If he or anyone else is using other than MSwin more than one linux/unix system with a common /home partition and wants access to the same /home/user if "user" corresponds to 1001 in Debian and 1003 in LinuxX then the name user will not allow access to the other system as on is user 1001 and the other 1003, two different users with the same label. The other way around seems to work with my experience, if 1002 is Deb on one system and 1002 is Ian on another then it shows as the same user. The true owner is described by the id not the label, I think!
