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...
