I've installed multiple Linuses in combinations like Mandrake + Debian,
Mandrake + Storm, Redhat + Debian. The biggest problem for me was the module
loading. modprobe produces error messages about not finding the module to be
loaded.

But this may be because in LILO I installed Debian as just another Linux OS.
In a recent reinstall I configured Debian to boot as an alien ("other")
operating system (like winblows). Now I'm able to modprobe without too much
fuss.
