Multiple images in a single card.

Hi,

I wanted to test wireless networking using Raspberry Pi for which I suppose I'd need Occidentials distro. Also if I may need other distributions for other purposes. So can I have two different images on my micro SD card?

Out-of-the-box, this is not as easy as with a "normal" PC running Linux: Normal PCs have a bootloader that you can tell what configuration you want to boot given a list of possible configurations. (A configuration consists of kernel-to-boot, and a few other things like root).

If you're adventurous, you should look into how "noobs" does things: Somehow they have enough control to say: if you press <i-don-t-remmeber-what-key> quickly enough you can go back to noobs to do certain things.... You should be able to make a sort-of-bootloader in that way....
