Is it possible to set up my dual boot system with a shared /home directory?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I would like to dual boot my system (ie, RHEL7 and Ubuntu)
  • Is it possible to have the same home directory for each distribution? This will save me having to copy my data files back and forth

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Another 3rd party OS, dual boot configuration
