Thought this might interest the more technically minded, although it is from tech tv and it is not as technical as it might be.

'It's entirely possible to install almost every version of Linux on one machine. New versions of LILO eliminate the 1,024th cylinder boundary, enabling you to use up to 160GB for Linux. However, I decided to stop at around 10 versions because any more seemed redundant.'

57 OSs on a single machine?  :eek:    :eek:  . I'm speachless   :rolleyes:

The most I ever set up in a multi-boot were:
Linux
OS/2 Warp 3
DOS 6.22
Windows 3.11
Win95
WinNT
Win2K

But I find VMware to be *much* more useful than multi-boot. In VMware I can run the above plus Solaris x86, BSD, other distros of Linux, etc, etc, *and* you can run several of them at the same time. Doing things in virtual hardware and partitions is much easier, more useful, and saves time. And I never have to get out of Linux and reboot. Who the hell would need a 57 boot system???

No shit. Why would you need 57 different Linux distros on your machine? If you have 1 distro you pretty much have them all since they all use the same Linux kernel(meaning you can use apps for Linux in any distro and you can do about the same stuff in any distro).
