I do this. I have a gentoo partition mounted inside Mandrake that I can chroot 
to, do an "emerge world" now and again and leave it to chug away and get on 
and use Mandrake uninterrupted. Occasionally I actually boot into Gentoo to 
have a play. It's a satisfying feeling seeing that much code systematically 
compile itself without falling over. But I don't actually _use_ it that much 
:-)
