Why not run a virtual machine for Slackware 12.2 (or other distros).  This way, no reboot is needed, just fire up your virtual machine, and away you go (full screen if you need, or in a window).
The only reason I can think of is amount of RAM needed.... but RAM is quite cheap now days...
VirtualBox is free, and VMWare Player is free as in beer...

On a new partition I just installed  Slackware 12.2 complete with the
Quanta available on that release. So I still have Quanta, at the cost
of a reboot when I need to use it.

When Quanta 4 or whatever comes out I can install that on my Slack
13 partition which has Qt 4.
