Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to run 2 distros and 2 xservers at the same time:

I'm starting to use backtrack for educational purposes, I'm following a course in security and I'm starting to use Backtrack. Nevertheless I actually love the functionality of Ubuntu and The new design of unity (even though has a lower performance than others).

Currently I have both installed in my computer, but each time I want to use backtrack I have to reboot my pc, and when I want to return to ubuntu, I have to reboot again, and it's starting to be really annoying...

If running the 2 distros at the same time isn't possible. Is there any way to install ubuntu packets on ubuntu

tty only can load an other X session, not starting an other OS

Why don't you use virtualization? A VM lets you run as many operating systems at the same time as your host has resources available. VirtualBox, for example, is a common virtualization environment.
