Which is the best boot loader?

[hasu]

I am planning to make my primary harddisk (60GB) to multi boot.
Installing all these just for the sake of it... Win2K, Win98 (more than one copy), Linux (2 distros), BeOS.

Tried XOSL, and I liked it. It does not have inherent support to boot from CD or into linux. To boot into linux, LILO should be installed in the linux partition itself. To boot from CD, it installs Smart Boot Manager for you.

Is there a better option than that?

Also what is the best utility to partition the hard disk?

Any commens?

Edit: I'm not sure it this topic really belong here. Should I move it to Sofware - "Applications, Programming and Gaming" ?

Grub maybe? I think that's what it's called. I know some people using BeOS & RedHat with it. ( If that's what it's called )

sure this belongs just fine here.

i'd recommend lilo since you are using linux. if you ever need help, it will be a million times easier to find help with lilo because everyone uses it (well, essentially)

Grub kicks lilo's ass.

I use Grub, and lov it. It is a little diffrent to understand, LILO definitely has a lower lurning curve IMO, but with lilo you have to remember to run it every time you rebuild your kernel..

Thanks guys ..

Does Grub has a GUI? Is there a site with Grub screen shots?

Also, is there a version of Grub, which can be installed from Windows?
