Linux installations absolutely can use the same swap space, just not at
the same time.  I do it all the time.

I'm interested in sharing /boot also, which can be done supposedly. 
Anyone doing this?  I tried it once with SuSE and Fedora, but one of
them completely overwrote /boot.  It's entirely possible I didn't
configure the install correctly though.

Do the installers typically handle sharing /boot?  Or is it a matter of
migrating each /boot to the seperate partition after the install?
