I've only put two Linux distros on a single machine once. But I had RedHat 8.0 and Debian on the same box. Just make sure you get the second OS to install into the free space on the drive, and not to overwrite the existing partitions. Both systems can share swap space, and could probably share the /home partition as well if you really wanted. It shouldn't be too hard to get lilo to recognize the other kernel, and Grub should do it automatically, but I would create a boot disk for the first OS just in case you cannot get the boot loader to recognize it.
