Installing Linux +



Hello,

I've bought a new PC on which I plan to install several Unix/Linux OSes.

1. Does any one have and can sell or lend me for about a week CDs with
current distributions of Slackware 3.4, RH 4.2 or 5.0, Debian 1.3.X, SCO
Unix, FreeBSD. Tel-Aviv area is preferred. Yes I know about TclTek,
thanks.

2. Like I said, I want all of the above to be installed on the same
machine. To save some space, I want them to share swap partition. Are
there any limitations? They may arise, IMHO, from the incompatibilities
of swap partition formats. Of course, I could re-format swap partition
on the fly when I start an incompatible Unix, but maybe I do not have
to... Any ideas?

3. In view of the above, who is the best candidate to manage OS
selection at the boot time? BTW, one more OS which I'd like to get is
Solaris X86, so the story is even more complicated.

I can be reached via E-mail, or by phone:
03-5659782 (work)
03-7313773 (home)

TIA,

Andy
