Multiple OSes, 1 Mozilla profile?

[Liberty Young]

Tom, 
I've just got doing the same thing. procmail filters the various
accounts into the right directories, and using IMAP/SSL, i can safely
check my email from work. 

I'd also suggest setting up Samba, and using roaming profiles. Just a
thought.

Will any distribution do as well as another in this?  I have the iso's for Mandrake 9.1 and RH 9.0 along with some other older distributions.  This sounds like it will also solve the problem of losing my mail every time I switch email clients.
