The most important thing to keep in mind when installing multiple
operating systems in a multi-boot configuration is Windows doesn't know
how to do that. Windows always thinks it's the only OS being installed,
so it must be first. Subsequent Linux installs will recognize any
pre-existing installs and set up GRUB so that Windows is one of the
choices.

The second consideration will be how much hard drive space to allocate
to each OS. This used to be critical, but huge hard drives are now
cheap.
