What about doing a triple boot, if you share swap and /home, you can get
enough space to install a 3rd distro, no ?
It's not worth the effort - the machine is the first dual-core Athlon
ever built, the USB ports are either dead or 1.1, the NVidia card is
mucked up and it only has 4 GB of RAM. I do most of my testing in VMs
on the 8 GB laptop under virt-manager on Fedora or VirtualBox and
VMware Workstation on Windows. I've also got the Client Hyper-V
feature of Windows 8 Pro on the laptop but it needs a wired network to
function coherently. I'll probably haul the workstation down to
FreeGeek and just make the laptop my workstation. Rawhide's fine in a
VM. ;-)
