Mukund,
My view on this is, that it is not a bad idea provided
it is your second distro installed on a seperate partition.
I have always had two distros installed, of which one has
been Slack from Ver 1.0, the other has changed to RH, SuSE,
MDK, BestLinux, Debian ... This way I have come to know what
are the plus and minor points of all distros, and I am not
lost about any of them ... afterall, once installed all apps
run the same, only that the management varies, and that is
what is to be learnt.
Change ... NO ! Supplement for learning ... YES !

Hi,
In this regard I want to have guidance as to how to have two
distributions of Linux in a single m/c? Till date I have installed linux
in about 5 machines with a dual boot option when someone else has
already prepared a non-DOS partition ( I shiver at the thought of doing
partitioning myself ! too risky for me !). Can you please give pointers
to me to go about installing a second linux distribution in a m/c which
already has win 95, PCQ Linux and LILO is on the MBR.
