Hi Mallikarjun
>(1) can i share single /home between ubuntu and fedora
>(2) if so will the configuration files stay intact and consistant?
Here's what I suggest. You already have Ubuntu installed I believe.
Backup your /home on an external drive (pen drive or external HDD).
Make enough space on your internal HDD and then install Fedora,
allowing it to format your /home if it wants to. At the end, boot
Fedora once and then copy your backup of /home from the external
drive back to your internal HDD. Perhaps that will delete some config
files but this might work.
Let me warn you though, that I have not done this before.
Regards
Moz
