If you'd retain the original filesystem (perhaps issue a resize to make room for a linux partition?), you could simply use something like [1] to use the HFS+ volumes including the /Users/<user> homedirs, to keep your user's home. Importing the users wouldn't be too hard to as exporting the OSX users. On 10.5 for example you could use `dscl . -readall /Users` to do a LDAP-like dump of the users in the system.
