On my home system I am going to install Windows 2000, ME, and Linux. 2K is my prefered OS but ME came with all the goodies form Dell.( I don't need to hear about how I could have built one for less, My company paid for 25% of it and I was lazy.) I am trying to expand into Linux. What Boot Loader should I use?

Thanks!

Dont. Just grab an old POS machine and run linux on there. It will be easier because you do not have to worry about Screwing up a flakey Windows install and you may actually use linux instead of feeling 31337 because its on the machine.

If you have to dual boot, use them both. You sound like a Windows guy, so stick with the Windows bootloader. You will need grub (or my preference LILO) to boot linux after the Windows bootloader gets done with your hardware.
