That should work fine. The only data that is shared between different
installations of Sage on your machine will be your ~/.sage directory and
the personal files in it. That might cause problems if you have a very
old version of Sage and a very new version of Sage installed at the same
time, since they might expect different stuff to be in ~/.sage , but
that's the exception rather than the rule. I often have five or six
versions of Sage installed on my computer, each in its own directory.
