[clue-tech] Dual booting between linux.

[David L. Anselmi]

So dual booting Linux and Windows has been solved for years.  It's 
easiest to put a Linux boot loader in the MBR and let it run either 
linux or chain load windows.

What about dual booting 2 linux distros?  Each distro handles its 
kernels, initramfs, grub config, etc just fine.  But since they don't 
know about each other it seems likely they may step on each other.

Even making each grub config aware of the other partition seems error 
prone if each distro wants to update whats there.

So how about putting grub on both the MBR and on each partition's boot 
sector?  Let each distro own its partition and then the MBR only has to 
chain load one of those.

Anyone done this and been happy with it?  Anyone have a better way?  The 
goal something that each distro manages itself so the user doesn't have 
to fiddle with anything during upgrades.

Thanks!
