My main PC has Ubuntu 15.04, Crunchbang and Arch on it, all sharing
one /home but with 3 different user accounts. Previously, I have had
4+ distros on a single machine -- e.g. the current Ubuntu and the LTS
plus 2 or 3 alternatives. If one is trying out distros and desktops,
it works very well. It's more efficient in disk space, it's easier to
switch environments for testing purposes. The only issue is
remembering which username goes with which distro. :¬)

Really, it works, and when you have to do an upgrade or anything, it
pays for itself in time and effort saved.
