(clug-talk) XP, Win2k Advanced Server and Linux

[Johnny Stork]

A friend just asked me about tri-booting Windows XP, Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Redhat. I am familiar with MS OS's stealing the MBR and that Linux needs to be installed last. But, I am not sure what happens when he would install XP, and then Win2K, or the other way around, before installing Redhat? I imagine it wouldnt matter since Redhat would see both Windows partitions as bootable "Dos" partitions and all should be fine right? But if he first installs the 2 Windows OS's I want to make sure he will be able to boot the 2 of them. I am "pretty" sure the Win2k boot loaded on either one of them will populate boot.ini appropriately? I have run 3-4 OS's on the same machine before but this would have been Windows, OS/2, BeOS and Linux and I used Boot Magic as the Boot Loader which saw all partitions.
