All,

I am in the process of building a new machine that will have several
different OSes installed for different purposes. WIN XP, Ubuntu 7.10
and Fedora 8 are already installed and working with at least two other
flavors of Linux coming. Only one OS will be booted at any given time,
no VM Ware here...

The question of the day; can I safely have a single swap space that is
shared by the different flavors of Linux? Do I need to do anything
special to the space and or settings of the OS to do this?

Yes - there should be no issues providing you don't expect
suspend/resume to handle the machine being suspended in one flavour
and resuming in another flavour.

Don't share /tmp though.
