Even easier, use VirtualBox and try out things with that.

Thanks for the suggestion.  This seems like something
that I should try.

Someone suggested using removeable hard disks as a way 
to use different environments. I am not wanting to get
too deep into the OS.  This computer is my iternet
computer that I use mostly for internet access.  I have
a Windows computer that is not networked because of the
dangers of infections - which I got despite using the
Comcast supplied MaCafe.  And I know of at leat three
others for whom the McCafe did not protect them.
