In fact, the more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that it's even possible to run multiple distros simultaneously on a single processor machine. All you need to do is segregate memory and swap correctly. I think IBM does this on their big machines.
Multiple distros simultaneously On single machine ??
I have pentium-II 400MHZ. with SuSe 9.1 and Red Hat 9.0
I can Run SuSe's X desktop On tty7 and Red Hat's X desktop on tty2 simultaneously with single swap partition and 192(64+128) MB RAM
Is it same what u r saying Multiple distros simultaneously On single processor machine ??
I presume running multiple distros concurrently does not imply running X from different partitions. It would be running a complete virtual machine startting from the kernel booting and loading init and so on. Something like Vmware. A complete OS and not just the UI component.
