duel booting with 2x *nix

2004-10-28 Thread Simon Burke
I know duel booting is really easy to setup these days, but just a
thought, I've never duel booted with two *nix OS's so i do not
know this.

Is it possible to use a single swap partition for multiple distro's on
one machine?

If so would it impair stability or stuff? And would it be possible to
do so with BSD and linux?

Im just curious. All my Ix86 dekstops have atleast 160gb HDD space
(over 1.5Tb in total at present), so i may give it a try later on
tonight.

I don't THINK it'd work between FreeBSD and Linux, but I could be mistaken.
I'm basing this thought on the fact that every distro of Linux I've 
installed puts its different mount points on a different partition; 
FreeBSD has several partitions(not the same kind) on the same 
slice(FreeBSD's equivalent to a partition).

I don't have any experience with other *nixes, so I'll now yield the floor.
