multi booting


I've been having a blast playing around with my "guinea pig" PC installing various OSes and setting up multiboot.

So far it will boot FreeDOS, DOS62, Win95_OSR2, Win98SE, WinXP_Pro_SP3, and Linux.

Why?

1) To learn the technology

2) So I can boot any of my machines to DOS for development of timing-critical apps and/or apps that need exclusive and unimpeded direct access to the bare metal.

3) To run legacy DOS apps that don't like emulators.

For you multi-booters out there, what boot manager do you use?
