Being unhappy with Fedora, I thought I'd try Ubuntu. I now have a systewm that dual boots with Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04). I would like to use the same /home partition for each installation.
The (first) problem I have hit is that Fedora creates users with UIDs and GIDs starting at 500, where Ubuntu starts at 1000. I've already found out that Ubuntu does not like regular accounts with UIDs or GIDs less than 1000. I can change the UIDs of files with "chown -R --from=500 1000" and similarly for GIDs. I can delete and recreate the account. What other little beartraps are there waiting for me? Or is there a better way to do this. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
