What is the best way to dual boot ubuntu 10.04 with fedora 13? Fedora first then Ubuntu? Will the Ubuntu installation repartition or will I need to do that with Gparted?

I decided to stay straight Ubuntu for now. Fedora doesn't "see" Ubuntu and Ubuntu doesn't "see" Fedora. I am just going to hang with Ubuntu and if I want to dabble in Fedora, I will us a live cd.

I installed Fedora first, then Ubuntu. That way Ubuntu can see Fedora when you log in to it and run:


sudo update-grub

As you can see I have openSUSE on mine:



wojox@wojox-desktop:~$ sudo update-grub
