I have a laptop I am using for college and I want to install 3 (or more) OSes for my different computing classes. I want to put Windows7 32bit ffor using apps and games that wine doesn’t like. I would like to have Backtrack5 for my NetSecurity and Digital Forensics classes, I need Fedora for my Linux Enterprise class (we learn RedHat), and Ubuntu for my primary that I will use for web browsing and word processing. So seeing I would like 4 OSes I was thinking of dedicating the following space to the OSes
Win7 (32-bit): 75GB
BT5R3 (32-bit): 25GB
Fedora17 (32-bit): 50GB
Ubuntu 12.10 (32-bit): 50GB
Or if there is anyway that I can run all 3 Linux OSes off of one Home Partition I would do that but I don’t know how to do that. I have heard I need to use LVM partitions when installing multiple OSes but I know nothing about them. I have all of the 32-bit live disks (except win7 but I have the intsall disk). Here is basically my goal.
Win7: I want this for tools and games I can install on Linux very well.
BT5R3: I will be using this for PenTesting and I won’t need much extra room for anything other than whats already on there so maybe just some room for text files.
Fedora17: I will be switching back and forth between this and Ubuntu 12.10 as my main partitions and I need room to install files and modify things for my class.
Ubuntu 12.10: Same as above except I don’t need it but it’s the linux OS I have the most experience with.
So any reccomendations, guides, or links would be very helpful.
