How to install multiple distros on one USB

Hi. i recently installed ubuntu gnome 14.10 on my laptop but i wanted to try a few other distros without reinstalling everything. Is it possible to put more then one distro on my USB drive. the distros i wanted to try and mint and fedora. thanks in advance. this is my first post here as well so hi everyone

Ever try a virtual machine?

and yes you can have multiple distros on a usb.

Never tried a virtual machine but i am familiar with it. and if you can i should have added how haha

You need either vmware player or virtualbox.

In your bios you need to turn on virtualization. Double check intel cpu if supported, just look it up on newegg if unsure.

I use YUMI to get tons of tools on one USB stick. Link here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
It works quite well and my only complaint is the branding they put on it. That is easily fixable though if you know how to edit the menu files.
