I like the default manager that SuSE Linux installs, dosnt have any problems, other than it's basicly just a list with a colour full back ground, very simplistic.

Which is the best car - Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Lamborghini?

I use XOSL. It can easily handle all of the above, it's got a
nice GUI and it's free. Even better: It only modifies the MBR
but does not interfere with the boot environment of the
individual OSs.

Some System Commander versions also include a partitioning utility to help
with the managment of the partition. (Partition Commander)

Mustang??? (falls about laughing)

Like driving a bouncy castle - looks great, sounds great, end of. Same
for those Camero thingys delayed action steering + seasickness like
driving a supertanker. Tried one of them big Ford Trucks - Lightning
it were called, ridiculously large engine, appalingly bad build
quality and steering that can go through a quarter turn before
anything happens there is so much play in it.

There have been many great cars built but only a few US car were ever
worthy of respect - Shelby Cobra comes to mind - little else.
Corvettes har har, and whats this Crossfire thing we are getting
foisted on us, actually the Crossfire is vastly better than most US
cars so you are learning. Its the first one I have driven for many
years that was fun to drive.

FFS The French build cars that are light years better than you yanks
and they are not even well regarded in Europe, to get some respect you
need a Beemer or Merc. Ever wondered why US cars don't sell in Europe
try a European Spec Renault Megane theres your answer. Note EU spec
means less emmission strangling and proper suspension not the US
wallowy water bed version.

Go on flame me

Cool

If one or more of your OSes is Linux, then you already have GRUB. It
seems to do just fine with Windows and Linux multi-booting.

I'm happy booting with grub too.
But there might be a limitation on the number of Windows you can boot. If
you put more than one Windows on a partition (which is not advisable), you
will have to chain boot (grub -> ntldr).

Do you have any comparisons to make between
System Commander and BootItNG?

In the marketing world Mustang equates to big balls. Nothing more.

Not an American, but I somewhat agree, here (in Australia) Japanese cars out
did the American ones out of sheer realiablity and costs (Euro cars are
still a bit more pricey here, but great), I try to avoid American
engineering, I prefer craftmanship to cost cutting mass production measures.
Just look at Windows. Much prefer, a Toshiba than an IB(bloody hopless)M,
Lexus to a Chevy, SuSE Linux (when it was German) to Redhat, a CZ to a
Remington, Chinotto to a Coke, watching grass grow to a Holywood movie, a
vegemite sandwich to a McDonalds burger, any leader to....errr well even The
Terminator would make a better president than the current "girly man".
