In theory, Ubuntu and Fedora will have their own partitions inside the SDD.
My question is, can I share the /boot partition between Fedora and Ubuntu? both are using Grub2.
Let me backup a step. The hardware is UEFI or BIOS based?
Unknown at this moment. I have yet to pick a MB. So far I have decided to base the system on a Socket 1150 / I5-4670 CPU, I am still deciding about the mobo.
I suspect that Chris is asking because it's simpler to set up dual-boot when you use UEFI because there's no fighting over what's in the MBR.
With UEFI, you have separate "/boot"s for Fedora and Ubuntu and mount the EFI system partition on "/boot/efi", containing the different grub executables.
The "which-grub-controls-boot-problem" migrates to which grub, Fedora or Ubuntu, comes ahead in the boot order, but it's more benign problem.
