Hi List;
I have a new dev server. As an independent consultant I want to maximize
it's use. Some of my clients use RedHat/CentOS 64 bit, others
Redhat/CentOS 32bit, some are even using Fedora and Debian.
Here's my thought:
I'd like to install each OS/version into it's own space on the disk.
I'm thinking all I have to do is install one OS (say CentOS 64bit) and
partition say 20% of the disk. Then once the install is done, boot into
the latest fedora disk and do the same, etc.
Is this correct ?
Later I want to add a disk array and allocate a RAID mount point that
can be mounted by any of the installed Linux'es when it's active.
Is this do-able ? Easily ?
Yes you can do that, but if you have plenty of RAM you might find it
nicer to install the OS you'll run most on the base hardware, then
install the free vmware server and install all the others as vmware
guests so you can run one or more without having to reboot or shut down
the base system. The guest images normally live in ordinary files on
the host so they are easy to manage and they can nfs-mount a common
share from the host or other system fo access to common space.
