I seriously recommend getting VMWare. If not, just have 2 hard drive that u can partition it with.

I'm not really interested in VMware, as apparently it's slower. I don't have a problem with hard drives --- 4 of them in my computer.
You can use one of the Free Boot Managers like XOSL or GAG. Both are pretty lightweight (approx. 500KB) and provide you with GUIs during booting.
Adding new partitions/drives to boot from is very easy in both. I've used XOSL myself... so I can highly recommend it. But going through the features list of GAG, I can say it's no less.

Which one is easier for someone with no skills in command line-systems? I notice that i need to make a dedicated partition for XOSL. DO i need to do the same for GAG or does it just need to be installed. i can't find a FAQ for GAG.
None of them involve command lines so you should be fine with both. AFAIK, XOSL will have to be installed in a dedicated partition or but GAG can be put somewhere close to the boot record - the option is given to you during installation.
Thanks!
For running virtual Os's, Parallels processes faster than VMware and Parallels integrates directly into your system hardware unlike VMware
I am currently running 4 operating systems in my AMD machine. It's really great. My HD is only 80Gb. I'm planning to add another. I call it a NATIVE-TRUE multi-booting 'cause I don't use any virtualization applications such as VMware, etc.
I tried running several operating systems using VMware, and then using MS Virtual PC, and it not only slowed down my whole pc, but the virtual pc's took at least 10 mins to fully boot. I'm looking at running more than one OS on the same hard drive, but i'm not willing to try and partition my drive without a good program and tutorial. (Because I would like to use a Linux OS, but I would still need windows for if something wasn't compatible with Linux).
