I just wanted to give a quick hello to everyone. I also wanted to ask a 
quick question.... I have a drive that I would like to set up as a Linux 
drive and have several partitions on it to install different flavors of 
Linux. Here is what I have done so far...

Drive 0 40 Gig WD Windows XP PRO (Grub installed) [master]
Drive 1 40 Gig WD  Debian SID [slave]

If format Drive 1 and partition it into 8 Gig partitions will this kill 
WinXP or is grub completely independent of my debian installation? (My 
guess is  that it is independent but I do not want to be sorry, so I ask.)

Also, say I install (in order)
Suse
Slackware
Mandrake
EdUbuntu
FC4
Xandros
CentOS
FreeBSD
Debian....

Will Debian be the default OS to be launched? Also which FreeBSD is the 
*best* version? What are the main versions that others base their OS's 
off of? (ie. Ubuntu is based off of Debian)

Well, that will get me going...

Thanks a ton,

Christian
