    Six if you want to say Kubuntu and Ubuntu are different distros.

    1. Ubuntu - work
    2. Kubuntu - server (it was already installed and (K)Ubuntu LAMP was a snap).
    3. Xandros (EEE PC)
    4. Slackware - Shoutcast server
    5. CentOS - work
    6. CRUX - Home

    One. I see no reason to run multiple versions of Linux simultaneously.

    Don't get me wrong. I've tried quite a few Linux distributions. However, I try them one at a time. When I want to use a new one, I install it on top of the old one. I just personally have no need to leave multiple distros installed on any one machine.

    I'm not getting you wrong Techie Moe. I am just giving my reasons for doing what i do. I am not the sharpest pencil when it comes to Linux so i have to experiment a lot when it comes to things like even editing grub, or wireless or printing. I get bored real easy you see. I just learned this past week how to get Puppy to boot up with Ubuntus Grub loader. Since the 2 distros don't play nice together. Ubuntus grub menu and Puppys grub menu was 2 different stories.

    So please don't take my statement wrong. I like reading your rants and have based some of my distro choices on your expertise in these matters. I , like I said am just explaining my outlook on why I personally experiment with dual boot and try to learn the ins and outs between KDE, Gnome, JWM, LXDE and with nobody to teach me but you guys. No back to being on topic. Sorry guys.
