Yes it is possible. Also you can share partitions like /home, /var etc among these (if /home and /var are on different partitions)
2 - how many of v luggers have been able to completely do away with M$ OSes and its array of applns - IE, Office, etc?
I don't use M$ OSes and other applications.
regards

Yes, very much possible, and probably with the same kernel. Just that the root= and init= parameters have to be changed.

I never use MS products. Actually, I refuse to open .doc files at all! (unless it's from some professor ;-( ) Depends on what your primary tasks are.

I do not use *any* M$ OS or apps for any of my work.
