This is the problem I had with Debian and friends.

Fedora starts users at 500, while Debian&c uses 1000. So, if you use the same 
username on both, you now have the same user with both 500 and 1000 uid. When 
you log back into fedora (at least that is what happened to me), my stuff is 
now changed to user 500, or was it 501. It was a real mess! And the problem 
with Debian systems is that I could not find a way to get users to start at 
500, so as to be the same as Fedora. It was a mess, so I decided no longer to 
mount user data to non-Fodora systems.
