Its the age-old loopback (lo) device that is assigned all ip addresses in
the range 127.*.*.* Whenever you enable networking in the startup scripts,
this device is enabled. You might need to create an entry pointing to this
device in /etc/hosts and you are on!

I don't see any reason why you can't as long as you have entirely different
partitions for each ... just modify you boot utilities accordingly, then
you can boot any system you want.

I don't see how a GUI is helpful in such an important operation as
partition editing. The fdisk on Linux is quite capable AFAIK, I'd prefer it
if I ever needed to edit my partition table.
