You should be able to put any number of distros on a single computer if the 
space is there.   I usually do fresh install of <whatever>  but alway leave 
the previous system bootable.  Comes in handy for a lot of reasons.

Well, it was pretty good if you eliminate the 'posting police'.  Those who 
care more about top-posting and thread retention than they do the topics.  
But in general, they are a good bunch of people.  And a lot of them, like me, 
will be moving over here.
