    I have searched and not really found a brilliant answer, just wondering if this is easily done. Would like to keep Linpus on the machine for quick-use/other people to use, and Ubuntu for me to use or play around with.

    How easily is this done?

    Thanks.

    Its very easy, just install ubuntu and it automagicly adds linpus in the grub configuration. I have 3 different ubuntu kernels and linpus installed right now.

    Yes, when the Ubuntu installation reaches the part about partitions, the Automatic Partitioning option will let you shrink (and subsequently keep) any existing operating system (like Linpus) on the main drive and automatically put it into the Ubuntu boot menu (grub).

    (Sorry for all the parentheses)
