Well, I've got my system dual-booting between Mandrake 6.1, Win98, and
Slackware 7.0 (just to play with). Haven't been playing too much with
Slackware, so I'll nuke that and stick Mandrake on there (Helios or
Cooker, not sure which yet). The only thing it'll share with my "primary"
Mandrake install is the swap partition. It's a 1GB partition that I'll
use to stick everything on there, root-only (probably) for users so no
real need for using the same /home partition. This way it's completely
self-contained and I can setup Qmail without damaging my current setup.
