Running 9 OS's on 1 system. puts a lot of load on the hdd especially for swap if its not too big.. + ubuntu has a good.. gui by its self and consumes a minimum of 512 MB RAM.. depends on how much you loaded the system.. and how much ram you have.

The idea that the number of operating systems on your computer/number of partitions slows down the hard drive is just rather foolish. In fact - the smaller the partition size your operating system is on, the quicker it can call up data.

Plus even if your false assumption was true, it would slow down all the operating systems equally - thusly still making the findings valid.

Plus my test system is fairly powerful, 4gig DDR3 RAM and a 640gb hard drive.
