Now that I have Fedora and Win7 playing nice I'm looking at installing other flavors of Linux. Can they share a common /data partition, or do they each need their own?

Thanks again.

Generally, yes.  However, file ownership is stored by user/group id, so you'll want to make sure that your user accounts share the same user/group id's across installations.
