Hi there An interesting one. I am looking at allocating space on a spare 686 for several distros and probably playing with Xen at the same time.
My plan is: /dev/hdb1 gentoo, xen kernel install, mbr etc /dev/hdb2 debian install bootable from xen or standard mbr /dev/hdb3 something else... My usual work environment is gentoo with java so I can do most of my stuff by booting of the first partion. The reason for using partions was to keep things really clean and allow me to test stuff. I have been told in the past that I can test stuff in livecds etc but thats tricky for postgresql/openldap etc etc. There are other ways of doing this. I think I could be using weird file systems to pretend they are partions for example. Does anyone have any thoughts? BTW. For those of you who are considering the new gui gentoo installer Most interested in responses...
