Safe to share /home with another os or is there a better way?

I have an nfs exported /home folder which I use for /home under opensuse on this machine, wondering if it would be a bad idea to mount it as the arch /home
Perhaps it'd be better or maybe safer to mount it somewhere else and then use either symlinks or bind mounts for the folders I want available in arch
This being stuff like docs, music, mail and other app profiles etc
Any recommendations?

I'm gonna go with trying thii scenario
Mount the nfs /home export to something like /remote-homes and bind mount things like docs & media folders from there to folders under the local /home
Aside from those the only others I'm concerned with is akonadi (which uses mysql server on the same box as the nfs server), kontact, kmail, thunderbird, firefox & kvirc profiles (for now anyway), and I think I'll try symlinking to those as they're all safely hidden out of the way and I have backups of everything in case it goes pear-shaped
There's also a virtualbox vms folder containing the vdi files but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with those yet, aside from a win7 vm I use to run some accounting/tax software I only use vms for trying out new releases etc
Thanks for the input guys, never hurts to get a second opinion

Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
Thank you!

You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
Some general observations:
You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
thanks,
/john

I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

Switching a panel to another panel in the same frame.Is there a better way?

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() instanceof toolButton){
            westPanel.remove(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(false);
            toolButton tb = (toolButton)e.getSource();
            optionPanel = tb.getPanel();
            westPanel.add(optionPanel);
            westPanel.setVisible(true);
    }This code above is what I used to execute when one of several JButtons is being pressed.
In this program, one of the JPanel will be automatically switched to another JPanel when you press the respective JButtons.
Here are my questions:
1. Right now, I use westPanel.setVisible(false) and then change some stuff and then invoke westPanel.setVisible(true) to make it visible again. Although this works, I have a feeling that this is not quite right. I feel that there should be some better way to do this, switching the panel and request the program to redraw the replacing JPanel. Is there a better way for this?
2. Most of the time, the JPanel changes the size according to the components on it. I have tried several LayoutManager, but it seems that those components have more priority. Is there a way to completely fix the JPanel so that they stay the same size?

Look into using a Card Layout rather than manually swapping the panels: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

Can I share ibooks with another person

Can I share my books with another persons iPad not connected to my iTunes?

There is a risk that if you allow then to re-download your past purchases on their iPad or computer then the iPad or computer will be tied to your account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - if it's a good book then I'm sure they wouldn't mind buying their own copy.

Try logging on to your iCloud account and wiping the iPad that way.
remove it, which will erase it, and will turn off the activation lock.
