Good morning everyone :D

I have recently became interested in networking and found that using backtrack 4 r2 would be an excellent place to start. My machine at the moment is dual booting windows 7 ultimate with ubuntu 10.4 and i wish to triple boot with backtrack 4 r2. I am a beginner when it comes to partitioning but i can get around.

Does anyone know if it is possible to triple boot and if so how would i go about doing it.

Thanks,

As an alternative suggestion rather than having the Backtrack 4 as a bootable OS why not have it as a VM which can be called from either W7 or Ubuntu using Virtualbox or some other virtualisation software its not like your going to be using Backtrack as a "proper" OS, the only thing you migth stumble across would be having to have 2 network adaptors one being bridged if you wanted the VM to act as if it was a machine on the network.

Just a thought.
