First of all, thanks all of you for your input. I was basically asking for
intricacies like overwriting of MBR by any other OS other than Windows
(Novell, for ex). By "Ease of Maintenance", I meant that if any OS or the
boot loader itself, were to get corrupted, would it be easy to get it back?
And thanks Mr.Terry White, those were some valuable input. I am an ardent
linux forever, for its GPL. I use RH too, but I am saddened by the fact that
from RH 9 onwards, its not going to come free anymore. Well, they had to
make some money somewhere. So, I guess I will be going towards slackware.
And as for the fact of using multiple OSs, it eliminates the pain of
reinstalling the system, when I need to test my "guinea pig" OSs, mainly
freebsd and linux, from other OSs. So, I am looking towards diversity.
And I am installing windows only for namesake, nothing else. Maybe I wont
even do that. :)
Thanks again all for the valuable input,
Subhash.
