I would actually caution against testing the alpha on the same hard drive as existing distros unless you actually know what you are doing. The main difference is that GRUB2 is now the default in recent versions of Ubuntu, and when 10.04 is released that is what it will use (and thus 64Studio 3.3).
This is not a big deal but it can trip you up. I like to think that I know what I am doing when it comes to GRUB, and I honestly do not dual+ boot anymore just because there are things I would rather do with my time. > I was able to build the proprietary nvidia driver for a self build > kernel 2.6.31.6-rt19 on Suse for my GeForce 7200 GS, but for 64 Studio > 3.0-beta3, my everyday and studio Linux, I nor couldn't build the driver > for a self build kernel 2.6.31.12-rt20, neither the Ubuntu packages for > the Ubuntu kernel-rt and the restricted stuff did work.
