You have to worry about file ownership. Make sure your uid and gid are the same on both distros. If you do that, then you can just mount the same home partition from both distros. I've done this with 3 distros in the past, sharing swap, /home, /tmp and /var/spool/mail, with 3 common users. You just need to keep /etc/passwd and /etc/group in sync.
I am wiping out my harddisk and just copying the files as a backup using K3B. Will it work if I keep the permissions the same.
