'course there's really no reason to run multiple distros (other than for
experience). Most software will run with the same distro in the same
instance.
No, that's not strictly true, especially in the brave new world of VMWare
"appliances". Many software vendors now supply their software as complete
VMWare images, configured and ready to roll. They usually don't supply
appliances for every possible distro, and often they only supply a single
distro, the one they like the best.
So if you get two appliances from different vendors, you may easily have two
completely different distros. It's not like you can just copy the files
from one Linux to the other; the variations in Linux are nearly infinite
(heck, I had a world of fun just getting some Webmin plug-ins to work).
