Variation on sharing files

[peter]

sure, the only difference would be that one internal drive is called 
/dev/sda and the next /dev/sdb, etc. or hda and hdb (depending on 
whether the disks are scsi or ide). can't say anything as far as if 
you'll get any wierdness from programs or anything, though, if you're 
going to try to run stuff that was installed for the debian side. 
(that's beyond my level of unix-fu.)
