I guess my primary reason is so I can leave them all installed on separate drives and just switch when I want to look at something. I always have a test machine anyway for testing drives and such plus My living room is already full with 6 permanent machines and commonly have 2-5 others I am working on. Nonetheless, I have considered the scenario you suggest as a learning experience. Way too many projects :)

reading and always found 2 beagle processes once any showed up. I also
ran Yast/Software Management and did a search on beagle. That shows 6
of 8 packahes installed (not quite the same list those gents mentioned).

brief look at Suse. I am keeping my eye open for a [free] box with lots
of drive bays and a decent MB/CPU/Memory with the intent to put in a
bunch of like drives and load different OS's on each just for checkout
purposes. No multi-booting to maintain, just move the IDE and power
cables to the drive having thr OS I want to check something on. Sounds
silly, but again this is just a hobby.

Why not just use Virtual Hosts? Vmware or Xen will enable you to do that
without the hardware. I tend to have a lot of spare computers in my
network so just started using FreeNX for that. I can install a test
distro on a spare computer, then use it from my computer with nx.
