Hi I'm a LINUX user and I'm using XandrOS for now and I already tried to use Fedora core 1 for a short time because it still not a friendly user for a beginner like me. I want to know how I could boot 3 OS on my computer using grub, I haven't tried yet because I don't know where to start.

Not that I don't want to help you, but, this is something a little outside of what this site is set up for. I suggest that you try asking the same question on the xandros forum. http://forums.xandros.com/.

You also might try an IRC site. I know some of the people on Freenode #mepis would be happy to set you on the right path.
