Untill now you only run one distribution at the same without using using vmware and the like. Every of the three distributions has its advantages: Gentoo is configurable and (when you are not compiling) fast, Debian has a huge selection of packages and SuSE is easy to use. Why should I only use one if I can have all three at the same time?
run three distributions with one X and one kernel at the same time using chroot and mount --bind. I want to be able to use Yast, emerge and apt-get on the same machine without rebooting. I have already
installed a program into /data/suse with Yast under Gentoo and then run it.
The point being?
in other words, why do need to do this?
On the other hand collecting unsual numbers of electronic things is a hobby. I already have 7 mail-adresses. Why not three distros at the same time?
Next I have too much time and want to hack something at least a bit usefull and normally I also learn a lot through these projects. Installing Gentoo has already taught me more about GNU/Linux then year SuSE.
Happy Hacking, Robert Himmelmann
