I agree. Maybe OSNews should hold a contest : most unique OS's bootable on the same pc (without resorting to virtual machines). Could be fun.
But you'd really have to define unique. I, for one, don't consider Mandrake and Fedora/RedHat to be unique OSs. If I stretch my brain enough, I would consider Gentoo different from Fedora different from Debian different from Foresight etc etc etc...
Maybe the contest should have a defined list of OSs?

Looking at his grub.conf he has about 4 Fedora core installs and a couple Knoppix installs. His list just keeps repeating with the same distros over and over again. Sure they might be different version but how about installing LFS or Gentoo? I mean if you are going to go all out you should do it all the way.
