Weeding out duplicate odt/doc files

[john d. herron]

I have this box equipped with a single 40GB harddrive shared by Win98SE 
/ SuSE9.2 / Kubuntu 7.04.
There are two partitions that harbor respectively Kubuntu (hda3 - ext3 - 
11GB) and SuSE9.2 (hda5 - ext3 - 13GB).
While the contents of these two partitions differ considerably from one 
another, hda5 still contains several hundred text files (some Word docs, 
some OO odt's) that are identical with files on hda3.
I'm going to continue working with Kubuntu (my favorite distro) but must 
clear the SuSE partition to make room for other stuff.
The idea is to delete any duplicate text/doc versions from hda5 (SuSE) 
and move all the non-duplicate ones to hda3 (Kubuntu) before I reformat 
hda5.
For good measure I've backed up the /home folders of both distros and 
some other items like e.g. Thunderbird profiles.
My question: is there a good way of determining which text/doc files are 
identical across the two distros (by filename and modification date, or 
by content), short of doing it manually?
Any help will be thankfully appreciated
