Definately,

I've got an old version of redhat linux sitting with NT4 and Win2k Pro.
Originally I set up the box as a linux and NT4 dual boot but then I
installed Win2k on a new partition so now I've got all 3.

If you're looking for tips on how to do it I can't be much help. From memory
I created 2*2G partitions, one for NT and one for linux. I installed NT on
the first, then linux on the second. Later on I created another 2G partition
and put Win2k on there (will make it 4G next time ;))

Very easy to setup with W2k first on HDD and get yourself Mandrake 8 to
load next. As part of the setup LM8 will make an OS loader (LILO) so you
can select the system you wish to run.
I have two dual boxes for last month or so and I'm using LM8 more and
more.
I hope before WXP will come about I wont need windows.
