I don't know for novell (if it has a particularity with MBR, I've never
installed it) but for the other OS you can install all of them with most of
boot loaders.
Basically, you have to:
- divide your HD in multiple partitions (1 for win, 1 for Linux, 1
for its swap ... etc)
- install each of the OS
- boot under Linux (if you want to use grub or lilo as boot loader)
- configure lilo or grub so when you'll boot, you'll have a menu
that will be displayed so you can choose what OS you want to boot on
Usually I keep a "boot" floppy disk to boot on Linux (once I've installed
it), just in case that I install an OS which I don't know how to configure
the boot loader.
Lilo is easy to configure and you'll find many tutorials to help you to
configure it, while grub may seem a little bit harder to configure but can
be reconfigured at his prompt.
I don't get what you mean by "Which is easier to maintain?".
