Hi all,

I have setup dual-boot windows/linux machines many time but now I want to dual/triple boot linux distros (Redhat, Mandrake, Debian) on one machine. How do I avoid conflicts with things like /root, /ver, etc... Has anyone one this before? Thank you!!

You will partition your drive so that each distro will have its own partition. Your swap partition can be shared by the various Linux installs - no need to create a separate one for each. Multi-booting can be handled by GRUB - pick one of the Linuxes to be your 'permanent' install and whenever you add another Linux install to your drive, setup a entry for it in this 'permanent' Linux's /boot/grub/menu.lst.
