Hello list
I am currently running Debian Squeeze and am considering the feasibility
of switching to Gentoo due to several issues I am experiencing with a
new machine with a SATA HDD and a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653Z which refuses
to play audio CDs and pre-recorded DVDs.
In any event, because I have loads of data on my /home partition, I'm
curious about a few things, primarily what are the implications of
dual-booting with Gentoo as my second OS, so that I can experience
Gentoo without losing my data, etc.
How compatible are Gentoo and Debian in terms of using a shared /home
directory - I am concerned about uid for the directory for instance
which, if I changed it for Gentoo, may not work for Debian and vice versa.
Any thoughts/ suggestions?
Many thanks
AG
