Hi Sewraj,

Yes -- this is quite possible.

Have a look on the Linux Server and Linux Desktop forums -- they'll be able to sort you out.

you need to have a spare partition, or disk in your machine (unless you are using something like Corel Linux, which seems very slow)

Almost all Unix' can install in a multi-OS environment, Sun Solaris is good for it, and Linux is, and i guess that HP-UX probably does ...

it depends on your choice of UNIX, and the devices you have in your machine (and the amount of effort you want to expel keeping the system running.
