[coLinux-devel] potentially bad idea

[Eric S. J. <es...@ha...>]

I am very intrigued by cooperative Linux at and I would like to try it 
if I can have the same machine dual boot into Linux for Windows and if I 
am running on windows, run cooperative Linux off of the dual boot partition.

it seems to me that in order to do this, you would need two kernels and 
the boot loaders would be configured to load either one or the other 
depending a context.

I will admit that my original thought was to try and install gentoo on 
the system via a cooperative Linux installed base.  From what I've 
learned so far, I would say it is possible but not advisable.

in any case, the two OS/triple boot model is intriguing for variety of 
reasons and I'm wondering just how practical is it?
