Default Dual OS

I am just wondering who all in here have got Dual OS in there systems? Not necessarily dual but even more for that matter
To say about mine, I have got Windows XP SP2 (I degraded from SP3 as I had a tough time with it), RHEL 5 (For learning purpose) and Ubuntu. What about you guys?

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question, but what is RHEL 5?

And at the moment I only have Ubuntu & FreeDOS (for updating my BIOS).
But in the past I have had upto 4 OS's on one computer.

I have an image somewhere (if I can find it) where this user has over 400 OS's! - most of them Linux based, using the Grub boot loader. Quite impressive really.

Default Re: Dual OS

I have XP,Ubuntu on one hardrive, and i had slackware and debian on another. I got rid of the slackware/debian hard drive becuase if elt i could put it to better use. Multi-Booting is a great thing. Just be sure you have a 3rd party OS booting application, or you know how to correctly install and use LILO or GRUB.
