[Yhslug] sharing /home with mutliple distros

[Mackenzie Morgan]

By not paying attention, I formatted /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb, but now
I'm taking it as an opportunity to set up a weird mutliboot configuration.
One problem remains.  The distros are fighting over who gets permissions on
/home.  I *could* make a different username on each and then have file
permissions issues between all the different /home/me1 /home/me2 etc, but I
want to avoid that (besides that it'd still mean knowing which distro I was
in when I saved something).  I would like them all to share the same home
drive then (not just the partition), but I get errors in both Fedora and
Ubuntu (haven't set any others up yet) regarding permissions on ~/.dmrc and
how they have to be 644.  I keep setting them to that, but it seems if I
tell Ubuntu to use those permissions, it breaks Fedora and vice versa.  Does
anyone know a way around this?  I don't want to have to have multiple home
drives.
