As has already been pointed out (but I might as well say it too) -- so
you can do this development without rebooting your machine.  I
suggested "vmware-server" because it's free.  I suppose you could
choose to use Xen or something else if you prefer.  But when I
(personally) need to do development on various OSes I much prefer a
Virtualization solution instead of a multi-boot solution.
