So you would end up running two copies of kdm on the same machine? (one

I tried it. It prints a nice message that it has started kdm for which I
cannot find any evidence.
We have had this discussion before, but really trying to run two distros
at once is of little value IMHO.
Yes, by now I have given up the the idea of having only two distros as
well. On my laptop I am now running six plus a unionfs-copy of gentoo as
sandbox for proftpd and sshd. With some use of mv I can even start any
of the six. When I have some time in the next holidays I will try to get
xen working. Then I can run them all at once! But really there are some
profits: OOo does not work well under Gentoo but under Fedora I have a
well working OOo 1.9. I also need Sun Java 1.4.2 with BlueJ for school.
Instead of installing another Java under Gentoo I can use the one from
SuSE 9.2.
If you really want to do it keep fiddling :)
Yes, I do. It is much better fun than the normal computer games and far
less expensive. ;) Collecting distros has become somthing like a hobby
for me.
Happy Hacking,
