multi-boot. sounds like a power-up or something...

anyways, I am currently running FC1 and WinXP Pro on a GRUB dual-boot setup that I finally got installed once through without any problems at all by figuring out where to install the HDDs on the IDE chain and where to install GRUB on the HDDs. so now here I sit downloading the FC2 ISOs, and I am wondering if anyone could tell me how easy it might be for me to keep my existing OSes and triple-boot. If it's not too much trouble, I'd also like advice on this in a more *nix-general fashion, as I'd like to try Mandrake, Debian, and possible FreeBSD as well, and I'd rather just multi-boot them as to compare them "live". Thanks.

As long as you have enough disk space (or enough disks) and do a correct partitioning, you may have different distributions on the same system. You can also easily configure grub to boot from whichever partition you'd like.
