Dual/n-th booting Linuxes
Hi,
I'm taking some Linux+ classes this semester. I'm familiar with the Debian/Ubuntu way of doing things and haven't played with Red Hat in a number of years.
I'm thinking about taking a spare box I've got at home and attempting to dual boot Fedora Core 13 (or whatever they're up to these days) and Open Solaris to get the most out of the class, exposing me to more distros. (NOTE: I haven't played with Gentoo or Slackware either; maybe I should try one of those as well.)
I've dual-booted Red Hat 6 (back in the days before Fedora and GRUB) and Windows 98, so I'm no stranger to dual-booting per se, but I've never dual-booted two Linux OSes. Any suggestions, pointers, don't-dos or anecdotes?
If I'm using the same file system (i.e. ext3 or RieserFS) for each of the OSes that I'm going to install, can they share the same /boot partitions? Will GRUB automagically make the dual and triple boots work?
