How to triple-boot Fedora 15, Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7

Triple-booting Windows 7 (Windows) and two Linux distributions is a little bit more involved than dual-booting it with a distribution. You have to decide in what order to install the Linux distributions, and sometimes, the order you choose might not work. Such was the case with this attempt to triple boot it with Fedora 15 and Ubuntu 11.04.

Initially, I chose to install Fedora last, but discovered a major weakness in Anaconda, the Fedora system installer: It does not have a flexible means of configuring logical or primary partitions. And when you are using the MBR partitioning scheme, which limits the primary partitions that you can create to four, configuring partitions for a triple-boot operation becomes almost impossible.

Trisquel - A Simple and Smart Linux Distro



Trisquel is a fully free (as in "free speech", not merely as in "free of charge") GNU/Linux based operating system. It is derived from Ubuntu, but includes only free software.


Trisquel has several editions, designed for different uses: the one called simply Trisquel ― the most important one ― is intended for home and personal use, and includes a lot of apps for that: networking, multimedia, office, games, etc.

The Edu edition is designed for educational centers, and allows the teacher to build a custom digital classroom within minutes.

The Pro edition is for enterprises, and includes accounting and management software.

The Mini edition is for netbooks, networks, aging computers, and otherwise low-power systems. It is currently in beta testing.
