    Same here.
    Why anyone want to install 145 distros in one machine?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Well, he did say numerous times why he did it: to show that no matter how many OSs you have install, GRUB can load them the same exact way (chainloader +1). I think the 145 figure is there just because he just kept on piling them on without thinking. With a minimal install of most of the OSs you're talking about at most 1hr each.

    I seem to recall someone a long time ago (like 2001) doing something similar but had like 170 (number may be way off). That person had lots of obscure OS (sky, infereno, Haiku) in addition to tons of Linux distros.
