Multiple linux distros in one box

Hi,

This will be my first time to install 5 distros in one box, the ff. are:

openSUSE 11, openSUSE11.1, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10, Fedora 10

Now, I'm confused how would I partitioned my hard disk with a capacity of 80Gb where there is only one swap and no idea yet how to play with boot loader. And if someone can suggest a partitioning that would be great.
BTW, I'm installing for standard systems. Are there any related thread like this in this forum, please let me know.

Anybody could walk me through this matter, I highly appreciate it.

Thank You.
