I'm an _occasional_ binge distro-hopper, boot up something from a 
'live' drive and have a look, sometimes install for a real 
look-around. but basically I've been with the same distro for about 
three or so yrs.

when it comes to installing for testing, I have one or two machines to 
play with for this sort of purpose plus even if I only had one 
machine, it's easy to switch in a spare hard-drive and play. (laptops 
are easy to open.)

and best of all is to know gparted and grub2.
