Dual boot linux

I would like to dual boot linux. I tried installing to different drives and just adding the second os to the grub but no luck. It just removed the first system from the grub. Not a must but I am playing with linux more and more and would like to try different distros to find my flavor!

When you installed the second OS, it should have configured your grub automatically I believe.

As for trying many different versions, I think most will let you have a live cd (at least ubuntu variants do).
