2 Arch boxes, 1 Home
Hi All
I have 2 partitions each with arch installed, one for general stuff & one for development & testing, but each uses the same home partition. Is there a way that i can use different settings in .xinitrc based on which version of arch i am booting too ?
Many thanks

.xinitrc is afaik just a shell script,
so you can do stuff like if [ $HOSTNAME == 'foo' ] ...

Sharing a home partition is no problem, but sharing a home folder (when two computers may be logged on simultaneously) is asking for trouble....

@ngoonee
It is just one computer, with two seperate arch partitions, so only one arch installation will be booted at any one time.

No problem then. I personally don't see the point of two installs, but I'm sure you have a good reason
