Multiple OS's On Laptop?

[PH3N0M]

Ive got a studio 15, specs in sig, and want to put:

windows 7 home premium
ubuntu or fedora
freedos
hackintosh (once i get the wireless driver working)

will this slow my laptop down? if im in windows will a see a performance drop due to the other os's?

No, any other OS on a hard drive isn't going to have any sort of effect on the OS that you're running.

I have never seen a quad boot. Should be sweet. But you shouldn't see a decrease in speed.

You must have a massive hard drive or you only plan on using one or two OS as primary then give the others smaller partitions. If I may ask why do you need so many OS on one system? I can understand Windows and Ubuntu, between those two you will get everything the other OS have to offer.

Also, you can get VirtualBox, and though there is a small decrease in performance, it's easier than repartitioning everything when you want another OS. You could put Fedora in VB, for example; like DMGrier said, you only really need Ubuntu for your *nix needs, but the Mac OS is cool though.
