Mostly off topic, Evolution question 2006-04-26 - By Andrew Kelly

Hi all,
please forgive how off topic this posting is; I have a query for the
multi-booters on the list.
Have any of you any experience with sharing data between distributions
with high similarities? The specific scenario I'm after is this:
I have FC5 on a laptop, as well as the newest Ubuntu. I spent the last
half year or so using FC4 exclusively and was pretty much very pleased
with it all. FC5, however, seems nearly a step backwards and I'm not at
all sure I want to use it much longer. But I'd like to keep it through a
fair shakedown phase, maybe see if any coming updates brighten things
up. Parallel, though, I'd like to test drive Ubuntu as a potential
replacement. Right, nuff background.
What I'm after is sharing a single evolution instance between FC5 and
Ubuntu, so that I won't lose my mind trying to keep track of which mail
might be where. Eventually I'll put up a dovecot server or something
somewhere and migrate everything "off site", but for now I'm curious if
I can share data in this way considering Gnome and Evolution are pretty
standard on both sides.
If I were to, say, move my .evolution folder to a separate partition and
mount it in my home dir in both Distros, what are the chances that
within a week I'd have munged my mail beyond repair?
Anybody out there done anything like this?
Andy
