Anyway to Boot Multiple Linuxes on one computer?

CAGiversary!
I know that they're mostly the same, but I'm having trouble trying to see what advantages one has over the other. Does it matter when it comes to software for KDE versus Gnome (i.e. more KDE software out there versus Gnome)?
 
Alright well Gnome is a more streamlined and has two like start bars at the top and at the bottom. It also comes with Firefox as the browser instead of konquer with KDE.

KDE is more Vista or Mac like in it's design and has more graphics too it.

Overall KDE I belive is easier to operate for a person with less knowledge then GNOME.

I prefer the look and apps of GNOME better. But on the other hand my best friend hates GNOME and likes KDE.

Also if you want ubuntu and then download the KDE pack off there servers and then you can switch at will.
 
[quote name='hiccupleftovers']And one last question, if I wanted to dual or triple boot multiple Linux OSes how would I go about doing that?[/quote]

You'll have to partition a drive, and then install Ubuntu on that. After you install Ubuntu and reboot, GRUB should pop up allowing you to choose which OS you'd like to go with.

[I personally also prefer GNOME over KDE.]
 
I prefer gnome so Ubuntu, but Kubuntu is nice as well. You can install Ubuntu and add-on KDE through apt-get. It takes about ten minutes. If you do that, then when you boot up, you can choose between Gnome, KDE, and whatever else you have installed (Fluxbox, etc).

Edit: Here's a simple howto: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
 
The worst part about KDE, considering I've ben a pretty hardcore windows user since I was five, is the single click to run an app.

Konquerer and AmaroK are some pretty killer apps, so I think you should probably just try them both out.

Instead of installing both versions, though, I'd go with just running off a live disk, and then evaluating which you like more.
 
So ubuntu it is with KDE afterwards. Thanks guys. Can ubuntu partition drives directly as it is installing from a disk? I say this because I would love to try out Fedora or Alinux or Sabayon.
