From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can install more than one desktop environment at a time. Your login manager should let you pick which one you want to log into.
You can do that but it gets messy fast and it's almost impossible to uninstall a DE effectively.
Depends on your distro, I think.
yeah i think i like to try new desktops in vms more personally, but if i want 2 desktops at the same time then ok otherwise if i wanted to replace my desktop a full reinstall is better.
You can have them installed next to one another. Just like you can have Firefox and Links installed at the same time. Or twm and gnome3. It comes down to how much work you want for yourself.
I tried it before but I needed to delete the desktop specific mod I downloaded.
