I know duel booting is really easy to setup these days, but just a
thought, I've never duel booted with two *nix OS's so i do not
know this.

Is it possible to use a single swap partition for multiple distro's on
one machine?

If so would it impair stability or stuff? And would it be possible to
do so with BSD and linux?

Im just curious. All my Ix86 dekstops have atleast 160gb HDD space
(over 1.5Tb in total at present), so i may give it a try later on
tonight.
