I haven't been happy with KDE or Gnome since Ubuntu 7.10. So
I'm still running 7.10 on my workstation. I played with
xfce4 but couldn't figure out how to play DVDs.
It has seemed to me that both Gnome and KDE are in a race to
the bottom. Let's see how many desirable features we can
remove?

I do something similar. I have 4 "root" partitions. I install
into them in round robin fashion. So at this point I have
Ubuntu edgy on root1, 7.10 on root2, 8.04 on root3, and 9.04 on
root4. I can boot into any of them.
There are complications.

If you can buy a new larger disk that might be another option.
Another option would to image the current disk via dd. Then restore
anything you needed from that dd image. If you need to restore just
dd your backup image to the original disk. There is always more than
one way to skin a cat.
