[Server-devel] Grub, KVM and debootstrap

Martin,
Thanks for the suggestions.  I was not able to get dual-boot working 
properly.  Somehow installing Fedora 7 next to Debian 4 clobbers each 
others GRUB setup.  I'll need to learn more about GRUB repairs, the
Master Boot Record (MBR) and some other alternatives.

The KVM idea is interesting one.  It is fairly new, so I will have to 
check that both kernes are 2.6.20 to support, and that the issues with
using AMD were resolved.

The question would be how two images would share the IP address?  This
machine will be located in Pennsylvania, and accessed remotely from
Uruguay.

I will investigate.  This might make more sense.  Run Fedora as the base 
OS, and then only
switch to Debian when testing out something special.
