Oh definitely it "might work"  and I do it all the time when doing fresh 
installs of the SAME  distro.    But I have been burned at times.... never 
completely.

But I don't think I would do it between distros and I  certainly wouldn't 
expect it to work if what I wanted was to dual-boot between those distros.  I 
could almost guarantee there will be some problem between the two.
