DUAL BOOT

Hi there! I would like to know if installing 2 OS on a single HDD is safe? I only have a 40GB HDD.. Will it make my pc work slower? what are the common disadvantages of doing that?

PC will work at same speed.
You must repartition though if you plan to install 2 or more OSes, except maybe for windows.

The disadvantage I know is that you need to reboot to move to the next OS.

For me, I would use VMware to have 2 OSes and can switch faster. Speed is slower though.
