Hello,
Can I triple boot. I want to go with xp, knoppix and ubuntu. I have a 90gb, would that be able to take all 3. Is it worth having 2 linux operating systems, I want knoppix for the network software and security focus but could I get that for ubuntu. If its possible how would I do it, can I just make 3 partitions? Thanks if anyone can answer anything.
 
Yes, you can Triple Boot. Simply plan out your partitions, and install what you'd like. You will need a Swap file, too, so keep that in mind.

How so? It's actually quite easy. Next time please offer some support for your comments, maybe?

Whats a swap file? Is that a small partition used for linux.

A Swap file is a partition that functions in addition to physical RAM. If you have 1 GB of RAM and a 2 GB Swap partition, the system basically* has 3 GB of memory to work with.
PM me if you'd like some in-depth advice on partitions. I'll to respond tonight (Thursday) but maybe not until the morning.
