I currently have 8 OSes installed on my linux box.
All the linux distros share the same swap but I do use a seperate /home for
those I intend to keep, verses trying out, and of course all Must have a
seperate /.
I would suggest using a bootloader such as BootMagic or System Commander,
which is what I use, rather than trying to use Lilo or Grub. It works better
and it is easier to make change and fix errors.
Should you wish more info or details feel welcome to contact me off list.
