i wanna go for a tripple boot. not sure how realistic it is but i have windows 2000 mandrake 9.1 and i want to experiment with others so my question is, is it possible to do a tripple boot?

Ya, just add another os to boot in lilo/grub.

how do i go about that?

depends on whether using lilo or grub.

Install the new OS then edit the lilo.conf or I don't know what the file is for grub

and add the new OS there. Then rewrite lilo or grub and you're done!

When grub loads I think you can hit "c" for command line and add another partition (the commands are on the site somewhere). I think you can go as many partitions as you have space for. Right now I am trying to get eight different partitions in grub. Its fun

So far I have mandrake, ark, turbolinux, slack, debian, redhat and tomorrow I am going to put on free BSD and gentoo. Then configure grub so it all works. I know, I have way to much time on my hands.
