with different linux distros using a single /home, you can
simply use different user names. Each user will have a different

For files only, you can create a shared folder (everybody can

Well, I completed the system backup, using the Lenovo
tool called Create Recovery Media. One boot disc and
three data discs. I tested only the boot disc, it
worked. Since it took so much time to get the C drive
shrunk down to where I wanted it, I didn’t want to do a
complete system restore. I have no reason to think it
wouldn't work.<br>
<br>
Now to find a distro to install. I am partial to
Lubuntu, but when I booted up the live disc, Lubuntu
didn't recognize the wireless device. It has a Broadcom
802.11 a/b/g/n Wifi adapter BCM43228. Is there a
software package for this chipset in the repos? Now the
search begins.<br>
<br>
For the one who asked. The hard drive already has three
primary partitions. Sda1 is SYSTEM_DRV, sda2 is
Windows7_OS, sda3 is Lenovo_Recovery. So, the next one
I'll make extended. Sda3 has a drive letter of Q, of all
things, and it is at the very end of the drive. If their
going to put it at the end, name it Z for crying out
loud. Anyway, that's where I'm at.<br>

With 3 primary partitions already, you'll need to create an
extended partition for the Linux stuff, because it requires
at least two partitions: a swap partition, and the root
("/") partition. I think you can have only 4 primary
partitions. Linux can be loaded from extended partitions.<br>
<br>
If you want to put in other Linux systems, you carve them
out of your extended partition as well. They can all (as
far as I know) use the same swap partition.<br>
<br>
I think the Master Boot Record (MBR) is changed to send you
to the GRUB loader, which in-turn can send you to any of
your Linux partitions, or your Windows partition. The
last-installed Linux system is the one at the top of the
boot menu.<br>
<br>
I think it is also a good idea to create a common partition
(formatted FAT32, so it is visible to both Windows and
Linux), for putting files used by all of the different
systems.<br>
<br>
A lot of people like a common /home partition, but I don't
do that. With different Linux distributions sharing such a
common /home partition, that could cause configuration
problems.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
