I have a Dell Inspirion 1520 running Vista HP. 2GB DDR (upgrading to 4GB), 160GB SATA (upgrading to 320), Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 @ 2.00Ghz.

I am looking to run Vista, XP (I bought a new copy), and Fedora Linux. I always come across programs when I'm travelling that need different OSs and I want to avoid the need to borrow someone else's computer.

I know how to do Vista & XP dual-boot, with the ability to run Fedora virtually. However, I'm wondering if this is the best option or if I can tri-boot. Will the windows boot menu let me include linux in the list?

Space, power, etc. are not issues. I just want to know which option is best to avoid a) hours of tweaking to make it all work and b) the highest risk.

Note: I want to keep Vista as my primary OS, but I'll be booting into the other OSs pretty often.

Thanks
