Ok so I am going to be setting up a multi boot system.

I am going to have Vista x64, Vista x32, Win7 x32, Win7 x64, Server08 x64, Ubuntu, Backtrack3, Fedora, Open Solaris, Mac OSX.

The Windows, and Mac OS's I dont have a problem with as I konw how to add them all to the BCD and boot. Problem is with the Linux systems. I dont know enough about manually editing the BCD so I have been using EasyBCD, but when I chose Linux it seems that I can only add a single Linux install and not multiple to the Vista Boot loader.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

I know I could add the others to the grub menu, but I'm trying to avoid having multiple bootloaders. Ideally I want a single screen where I can select my OS.

I know I can run VM's....i have some of theses setup in VM's already but what can I say....I'm bored and wanted to try it out.

Plus with VM's I cant use BT3 for wifi hacking and Ubuntu w/ enhanced graphics

Looks like Neogrub might be able to solve some of my issues.
