ForceSphere:
What is the best boot manager to run multiple OSs?  I’ve tried some but most suck (maybe because I am cheap and use free software).  What ones do you use?

Calum:
i like lilo and grub, it seems that freebsd comes with its own bootloader and it does suck, but lilo and grub are very very good.

they often do seem to suck though if they look crap and you don't get any information on setting them up. The lilo that comes with mandrake looks good for example, as does the grub that comes with red hat.

here's a nice easy read about bootloaders.

Master of Reality:
I like grub, i've always used it and it works really good. I have it loading 4 OSes right now.

KernelPanic:
My preference is GRUB because reconfiguration just takes the editing of an ASCII file. It is also very competant booting nearly every OS I would care to use.

ForceSphere:
Hey thanks. That helped.
