Does anyone know how to setup my computer with triple boot? I currently have Window95 on the c: drive and Windows NT4.0 on the d: drive. But now I want to also add Linux on the same harddisk but different partition.

You can have Win95, NT, Linux and even Solaris on your system at the same time.
First Install Win95 in a partition 1. Then install NT in Partition 2. Later install Linux in partiton 3. Be careful, that place LiLo in MBR for Multi-booting. After Linux installation "LiLo" will prompt you to select either "Dos" (where you can access Win95 and Win NT) and other is "Linux" for Linux Operating System.

Consider purchasing System Commander. It allows you to have an unlimited number of OS installs on one HD, as long as space permits. It also hides each partition from one another to prevent cross linked files, and makes minimum changes to the boot sector.

System Commander is a good solution and don't forget Partition Magic. I rate Partition Magic a little easier than SC. It is definitely more flexible in moving and converting partitions to/from DOS, DOS32, NTFS, Linux, etc. PM also allows a floppydisk version which is a life-saver sometimes. It really beats using the W98/WinNT/Linux boot systems for ease of setup and maintinance. I still use both.
