    Best bootloader?

    Is it Lilo [suse & redhat] or Is it Grub? [Ubuntu & debain based] or its Chamaleon [can be use for all OS including Mac]. Do vote and post your replies...

    LILO does not depend on a specific file system, and can boot an operating system (e.g., Linux kernel images) from floppy disks and hard disks. One of up to sixteen different images can be selected at boot time. Various parameters, such as the root device, can be set independently for each kernel. LILO can be placed either in the master boot record (MBR) or the boot sector of a partition. In the latter case something else must be placed in the MBR to load LILO.

    GRUBis a boot loader package from the GNU Project. GRUB is the reference implementation of the Multiboot Specification, which enables a user to have multiple operating systems on their computer, and choose which one to run when the computer starts. GRUB can be used to select from different kernel images available on a particular operating system's partitions, as well as pass boot-time parameters to such kernels. GRUB was developed from a package called the Grand Unified Bootloader (a play on grand unified theory). It is predominantly used on Unix-like systems. The GNU operating system uses GNU GRUB as its boot loader, as do most Linux distributions. Solaris has used GRUB as its boot loader on x86 systems starting with the Solaris 10 1/06 release.
