I'm curious... I just installed FC4 and I'm dual booting with XP. It was a pretty straight-forward install with the dual boot. Even though I can't get my GUI workin' on it (that's another story) but all-in-all it was fairly easy. If I wanted to install another distro on that partition (format it, put another on there) are they all that easy to get the dual booting working? Or just some of them good for that?

Multi-booting is not a function of the distro--per se. Some installers do make it go more smoothly.
Take a look at this extreme example:

If he can do 100, you can surely do 3.....

lol nice!

I know GRUB does that, any ideas on which ones come with that ready to go? I'm relatively a newb here, but definitely newb in the dualbooting area.

Dual boot experience with RH7.3/Win98, RH7.3/Win2K, RH8/Win2K, Ubuntu/Win98, Ubuntu/WinXP, Xandros/WinXP, Slackware/Win98 and Lycoris/Win98. Never had problems with them.

I regard myself just a dumb dude. So if I made it to a 100 I expect you guys can pass the 200 mark.

Some said the maximum number of raw devices Linux can support is 255 so the night is still young for you guys to have a go at it.

I was surprised too by how easy Linux can multi boot when I got 4 distros operational in my first month into Linux.

On the subject of
It doesn't really matter if you use "chainloading" because Grub just boots another Linux exactly as it boots a Dos, a Windows, a BSD or a Solaris. Thus you can pile as many Linux as you wish and have Lilo in every one and it matters nothing to the multi boot operation.

The "Just booting tips" link in my signature documents all the commands I needed in the 100+ systems.

So all those give the options when installing?

Yes, they did.
