I've not experimented with server systems for many many years so would like to understand a few points.

On my home machine I have 2 hard drives one has 2 partitions, Ubuntu on the first and Fedora which I use most on the second partition.
the pc boots through the Ubuntu grub.

I have Fedora 16 on the second drive but don't use it.
If I install CentOS on that Fedora hard drive with the first drive unplugged it should be a fresh install.
Questions:
When I switch on the first hard drive and cold boot, I can choose on bios boot between the centos and nix drives, Centos should not know of the other's existence is this correct.
As a server, the Centos drive would permit access to 3 ip addresses.
It will have LAMP stack, latest Ruby and Rails and Drupal 7 for development.
Is it possible, while the pc is switched on during the day to use the CentOS as a server for development without affecting or accessing my working Linux installations? Will a thompson gateway TG782T ADSL modem/router be sufficient to act as a basic server modem for the above proposal.
I hope I've explained it well enough.

I'm thinking about getting something like a HP6200 for a server but want to learn first before parting with cash.
