Note that there are limitations to running multiple OS's on multiple partitions - you can only use (log into) one at a time, and it is difficult to change the allocated disk amounts (partition sizes.)
If you install your preferred distro on the entire drive, then install multiple VMs via VirtualBox or VMware, you can run more than one at the same time.
