And of course, the really geeky way to have multiple distros installed
at once on a suitably large hard drive (or bunch of them) is to have a
small /home for each with symlinks to the common stuff
like /home/Documents, /home/Music and /home/.local/share/ which are
actually on a large common /data partition somewhere.  

This is actually kind of fun to set up and makes it easy to evaluate/use
several distros at once without worrying about coordinating data.

Probably much more than the OP wants at this point though.
