Some progress being made... Dual boot linices?

[bruce.labitt at autoliv.com]

First off - my humble thanks to the wisdom of the list for helping me 
along in this crazy journey.

My Cell blade processor now boots and runs YDL6.0.  Of course that is all 
that it does at this point, eventually I will actually have to use it for 
something besides a space heater...

When I was configuring the head node, (which is my desktop linux box), I 
agreed to blow away my Ubuntu 8.04LTS x86_64 distro for CentOS5.2 x86_64. 
This was to reduce the number of variables, so we could finally get things 
going.  As I originally suspected, it was not the distro, nor the 
configuration of the distro, in particular that was the issue.  It was a 
quirk in the hardware... :0

I would really like to go back to Ubuntu.  It feels a lot more modern, and 
it supports my video out of the box.  Can I install Ubuntu to be dual boot 
with CentOS?  That way, if I need some additional vendor support I can 
boot into CentOS, which is one of their supported distros.

>From http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12364/ it appears that installation 
of dual boot linices (linuxes?) is awkward.  Anyone installed ubuntu to be 
dual boot with centos?  What do I look out for?

I looked at virtual box, and decided that it would be too complicated and 
may represent a performance impact. 

Thanks!

For anyone who is interested, the head node (my desktop) is the file, tftp 
and dhcp server to the cell blade.  It was most gratifying to actually see 
the cell go through the boot sequence.
