6 GB is fine.

There's one problem in sharing a home directory between fedora and kubuntu - 
fedora start the userid and groupid numbering at 500, whereas kubuntu starts 
at 1000. 

Provided you have your home directory on a seperate partition you can solve 
this by creating another user during kubuntu install. Example:

Fedora user	                tony
Kubuntu install user       tony-install

This will create a /home/tony-install directory in addition to the 
existing /home/tony.

Login to your new kubuntu installation as tony-install and create a new 
user "tony" in System Settings/System Administration/Users & Groups. Remember 
to create this user with the userid and groupid from fedora, usually 
501. "ls -l" shows the user/group id.

Finally either run the command "usermod -G admin tony" or add tony to 
the /etc/sudoers file.

Now you can login as tony and start enjoying the kubuntu goodnes.... :)

Hope this helps, otherwise let us know.
