Yes. I triple boot between Windows XP, Debian Sarge and FC2. When I first installed Debian and was already running Redhat 8.0, I faced the trouble of accessing one home directory from the other because of different UIDs in Redhat and Sarge. After a system reinstall, I just created FC2 users with explicit UIDs starting from 1000, the same as in Debian (I kept /home different for both).
Wonder what number the "standard" UID's start with? 500, 1000, ...??? ->HS --(Remove all underscores,if any, from my email address to get the correct one. Apologies for the inconvenience but this is to reduce spam.)
