There are some major annoyances in sharing a /home directory between two
distros. Redhat and Debian may have different versions of KDE (or
Gnome, Blackbox, etc) installed and different desktop settings. The big
problem is with hidden files/directories like .bashrc, .kde, .Xdefaults
and so on, which control these settings.
