Perhaps, perhaps not.

When using Linux, you may need to have several different versions of the
kernel at the same time.  The one you get out of the box, and a more recent
version, if you want to try out things like USB, UDF disks or more modern PCI
soundcards.

If S-C can specify which kernel you want to boot, so that you can have several
entries for Linux, that might be a good idea.

If not, I'm sure you could make S-C boot LILO, so you can use that to choose
which version of Linux you're going to run.

S-C almost certainly has a way to have DRDOS and Win95 at the same time,
although it might work by hiding partitions.  If so, you'll have to switch off
the Virus Warning support in the BIOS.  This method can also remove the DRI
Loader, so beware.

I doubt S-C can do the drive-swapping trick, but then again, that might not be
necessary.
