Sorry I read this and never made it back to post...

Can you dual boot 2 LL - yes, yes you can.
But as mentioned another option it to a VM - virtualbox is a perfect for this and is listed in Lite Software.

Depending on your hardware - as the guest runs within the host resources are shared; 2 running simultaneously - can switch back and forth easily or shut guest down when not needed.
Dual boot - 1 OS runs at time have to shut down, mirroring your system for "real" world exact hardware testing - if wanting to check say, new kernels for compatibility on your older hardware a vm wouldn't be 100% same.

VirtualBox is easy to use and no worries for grub..
But dual booting should be fairly straight forward, heres of screen shots of my system, the mini in my sig (low resources)


I have LL 3.8 "/" on sda1 which is also boot..
sda2 is extended with sda5, sda6 and sd7 within.. 5 is "/home" 6 is 'swap" and sda7 is LL3.4 (i believe beta)

Grub on boot: Top Line is LL3.8 and 5th line down is 3.4

Grub update shows both:
