Multiple distros



I had a thought today...

I was looking for SCSI hard drives on Pricewatch and I noticed that
seagate has a rather overwhelming 47 GB Monster drive...

I couldn't imagine every filling this up with Linux, so I thought it
would be cool to get a sufficiently large drive and install multiple
distributions (and leave some partitions open for more distros).

The question is this: is it possible to put a nice little swap partition
in the middle of the drive and have all the distros share this?  I don't
see why not, but I thought I'd ask some people with more knowledge than
myself.

This would be a great way to demo different distributions.  With a drive
that big you could demo installations as well...
