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
install GRUB and you can add on from there. GRUB
is not Linux, not Debian, its own app.
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 !!! :-)
