Ok.

So, it led me to wonder, as some distributions can be run as live

Please put full stop or dot after you have completed a sentence. Else it is
a very very very long sentence to get understood. :)

Though as far as I understood from your writing, you are asking for
multiple live GNU/Linux distribution to run with a bootloader from the
pendrive. For this kind of experiments we have multisystem. Download it and
use it to multi boot your pendrive using various versions of Ubuntu,
Trisquel, Gnewsense and many more.

While booting from the pendrive, selected from the system boot menu you
will get the list of OS you have multi booted. You are allowed to choose in
between and test run. You are also allowed to install into hard drive from
the live session. :D

with regards
