Cool it only makes sense to reuse swap space. > >Question--what advantage or disadvantage would there be if multiple >Linux systems shared additional partitions such as /temp, /usr, >/var,......?

I would stay away from /usr and /var as too many programs use them and if you install a program with distro specifc items you will definitely run into problems.
