I've just installed this on my desktop, replacing Vista. I'd like to install several versions of Linux on it but don't know how to do it. I've been googling but they all go on about dualbooting with Windows.

Anyone know where I can go to find out how to set up a Linux multiboot system? Do I use Grub?

I plan on installing Fedora and Suse alongside Ubuntu but also fancy having the ability to add new ones to play with.

not that I'm an expert, but you could try them all out using virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ within ubuntu
