Maybe you can setup a 2Gb “8.04.4 LTS” disk image using VirtualBox or Xen (just for rolling releases) and keep whatever version you want for desktop/development use.
Yeah, some sort of virtual machine like qemu/KVM is really the best way to go, for older distro support.
Constantly reformatting your main dev machine is for the birds Smiley
I have to support OpenSolaris and FreeBSD in my cloud computing project, in addition to the primary target, Linux. Virtual machines are a life-saver (and cost-saver).
