So far, I am liking it.
 I can use Debian to Boot Between Debian and FreeBSD.
 Can Debian grub look after other systems?

   GRUB can work multi-boots ... most any Linux will

   Debian ... maybe you want virtual machines instead ?
   If so there's VirtualBox though some like KVM better
   (VBox IS a bit more flexible though IMHO, fewer
   config files to fool with).
   With VMs several can be running at the same time and
   interact. Biz likes VMs because they only have to
   buy ONE box - though they're screwed if that one box
   has a fault. Not quite as fast as 'bare metal' installs
   but these days not so bad.
   VMs are a GREAT way to test out Linux distros.
   VBox will also run DOS, early Wins, even CP/M-86.
   Have a VM of Win-1.1 - WOW was it BAD !!!  :-)
