Anyone tried this yet. I have successfully triple boot osx/win7/ubuntu but now I want to add jolicloud. Can some share an idea on how I can do this. Thanks in advance

Boot into a live USB of Linux/Ubuntu/Gparted and use Gparted to check out your partition scheme. With an MBR scheme, you can have up to 4 primary partitions. Each primary partition can contain an extended partition, which can have many Logical partitions. Assuming you have your 3 OS's each on a primary, you can subtract space from one and use that space to create a 4th primary to install a 4th OS.
