    How do I install more than 1 linux distro + windows in 1 HDD?

    Hey guys,

    First of all, I'm very much addicted to ubuntu. I just can't leave without it. I can't imagine a single day without booting ubuntu.

    But recently, One of my cousin who has been in IT industry for years, suggested me to give a shot to FreeBSD also. Now I'm in a great dilemma how can I do Triple boot for
    Windows 7 x64 Ultimate + FreeBSD + Ubuntu 10.10 ??

    I know some freeware tools like EastBCD to give it a try. But I would like to ask for expert's advice first.
    I'm the best in what I do!

    If you just want to try it out, why not install it in a virtual machine?

    If you have room for it. I don't know what your partition table looks like. PC-Bsd is more a Desktop Bsd and built from Free-Bsd. People always try out the Bsds', but eventually return to Linux.

    I suggest to use gparted bootable cd to setup the partitions and then follow the procedure of dual boot.

    I'm with post number two on this. If you just want to try it first install it in a VM and have a play with it. That way, if you dislike it, you dont have all these extra partitions lying about on your HD.
    You could go on and partition once you know you don't hate it
