[Gllug] Triple booting Win2k, Debian, RedHat

I'm planning to set up my home machine as a triple boot with Win2k,
Debian and RedHat (and lilo as the bootloader).

I see conflicting reports as to whether I can/should put lilo in the MBR
or not, though I think as long as I install Win2k first and have boot
floppies ready it should be OK.

Can I have Debian and RedHat sharing partitions?
Specifically /boot, /home?
Any others that can be shared? swap partition?
I guess that the installion routines will create separate /home
directories but I can just delete them and mount the shared partition.
Security/name clashes isn't an issue as it's just a home machine.

Am I going totally in the wrong direction here or does this sound
feasible?
