Quadruple Booting?
Dear friends,
I'm a newbie to Unix and it's variants. I have XP and Vista installed on my hard disk on the first two partitions. I have seen somewhere that there can be triple booting of XP, Vista & LInux; but how I don't know. I have read here that Linux was made from scratch by Linux Torvalds based on Minix which was based on Unix. So I was thinking if I could install a linux and FreeBSD on my hard drive. Please friends help me in this matter. Is it possible to have 4 OSes installed on a hard disk drive or just my dream. If it is possible - how? Please guide me! Please!
Thanks in advance!

vistat
vistat(1Vi) vistat(1Vi) NAME
vistat - report image statistics SYNOPSIS
vistat [-option ...] [infile ...] [outfile] DESCRIPTION
vistat reports the minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation of the pixel values in its input images. The measurements are reported in the form of a Vista data file containing one statistics attribute per image measured. Each statistics attribute, in turn, contains min, max, mean, and std_dev attributes reporting individual measurements. It also contains a name attribute if the corresponding image has one. Because these attribute have no binary data associated with them the program's output can be viewed directly at a terminal. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
vistat accepts the following options: -help Prints a message describing options. -in infile Specifies a Vista data file containing the input images. -out outfile Specifies where to write the output statistics as a Vista data file. Input and output files can be specified on the command line or allowed to default to the standard input and output streams. SEE ALSO
