So I have this rediculouslly crazy idea to install 5 operating systems on my laptop;
Inspirion 6000, 60 GB hdd, 512 MB Ram

The OS'es
MS:
Vista Ultimate Beta2, Windows XP Home
Mac:
OSX Tiger 10.4.3 x86
BSD:
(Probally FreeBSD, have not decided yet)
Linux:
(Also have not decided which distro yet)

Things I need to do: (aside from back up data)

partitioning:
needed:
a standard FS that each filesystem and run on, and hopefully one that all and read/write to as shared

OSartition type
Mac: HFS+
XP/Vista: NTFS (extended with 2 logical partitions)
BSD: (BSDFFS)
Linux: ResiserFS or EXT3

now i noted i need a r/w space for all which as far as i can tell would be best suited to fat32, i do not have spaced for another primary partition, if that is the case ill just have to use my external HD for that space

install order:
TBA: (but heres what im thinking)
XP -> Vista-> OSX -> BSD -> Linux
bootloader:grub (what im most familiar with)

other apps... etc. :
bsd: Cedega (cross platform app launcher)

just some stuff im thinking about doing, need to decided on a linux/bsd so i can download/burn the cd/dvd

feedback on things to consider: alternate FS/boot orders, distro sugestions, seeing a therapist, going on a strike from thinking ever again, reconsidering why have 5 operating systems on 1 computer when i can only use one at a time.

i got a some free time over the next week so i thought id do this, might be an interesting challege, or just retarted time, and feedback will tell. yes im going to follow up as much as i can.
