Now the question is how to lay it out so that: >=20 > 1. The home dir for my account of FreeBSD =3D Vista account's root dir In FreeBSD you can mount the fat32 partition on /home/$USER. How to handle this in vista you'd have to ask somewhere else, I think. The FAT "filesystem" doesn't handle a lot of things (like file and directory permissions) that UFS2 does. So this doesn't strike me as a really good idea. > 2. Share the same Desktop folder (I think if #1 is solved this is automat= ic) Maybe, but the Desktop folder would be pretty much useless for FreeBSD. Maybe there is an X window manager that could do something usefull with it, but I doubt it. And the icons and stuff would point to windows programs/drives anyway.
