Solaris

Altho i do condone exploring hardware travesty....
In my humble opinion, all you need is one operating system with virtualization solutions (vbox, vmware,kvm) for other operating systems.

Only exception should be exotic hardware such as sparc or itanic, which you cannot install on desktop linux or windows as a virtual machine.
I see no special knowledge gained by installing solaris 11.3 on a separate partition on laptop to boot from, opposing as a virtual box machine for instance.

Triple or whatever boots can also involve risk of overwriting disks / partitions and/or data loss simply by issuing the wrong command on, for instance windows disk, from solaris OS booted.

Virtualization can even simulate 'real life' even better with internal networking, one machine as dhcp/dns/kerberos server, clients as solaris,linux, clusters..
Great way to learn interaction, test security of various services (in a isolated environment.) etc.

Hope that helps

Hi

Thanks to all, sorry for late reply due to my many test and the European Cup :-)

the screen is stopped to Flick/blink if I choose "vesa mode" (from the live DVD) in the boot menu, it will "remember" this mode when I install solaris local. The mission is completed and you can read all details here:

Multiboot on a laptop: windows Solaris Linux
