FWIW what originally sent me to Ubuntu was trying to dual-boot XP and
Linux by installing the new OS to an external USB2 drive. It's hopeless
under SuSE. Clunky with Knoppix. Elementary with Ubuntu.
Nevertheless it's a little safer all around, if you want to play with
beta OS releases, to do it someplace really safe like on a removable
drive :-)
Once it's ripe, Xen will probably be a good environment for this too.

After the last experience with SUSE 10.0 I now use Partition Magic to clone copy
drive 0 to drive 1 (backup), then play.
The two floppy disk set generated by PQ Magic will allow you to run PQM under DR
DOS from floppy at boot and then you simply copy drive 1 back over drive 0.
Easy (if time consuming) restore, but READ DOCS first.

Hi, I just recovered Ubuntu 5.10 from a disaster trying to upgrade
to 6.06 beta. I mashed my MBR and it was a struggle to get back to a
bootable system.
