Does anyone here have experience with installing two linux systems and one FreeBSD?
 

I am trying to install 3 different linux operation systems. They are Fedro Core 2, Slackware and FreeBSD.
Can anyone discuss with me anything about the particition and installation procedures?

It is not really that difficult, but much can go wrong, so I suggest you back up your data ;-)
For me these steps worked quite well:
1) Install a linux distribution
2) Boot that distribution and install GRUB (will probably work with lilo too, but I always use GRUB)
3) Install all the other Linux distributions, but _never_ install a boot loader
4) Change the path in the GRUB configuration file and see if you can boot the other distributions
5) Install FreeBSD, but _do not_ install the boot loader
6) Read how to boot FreeBSD with GRUB
7) If it works, you are done, if not go back to one ;-)

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
