I'm about to start using only runs on SUSE. To this end, I'm about to set
aside a smaller partition and install the minimal amnount of SUSE I need to
run the app. My question is regarding /home and swap. Is there anything in
my current Gentoo /home and swap that "locks" them to the Gentoo install or
can I share them between the two installs? What I mean by share is that
when I boot up Gentoo can I mount /home and swap and everything is fully
accessible and then reboot into SUSE and once again mount them and
everything is once again fully accessible?

Another important factor is desktop environment. Various settings can cause
troubles in either ones.
