Bootloaders; Dual-Booting SuSE and Windows XP

Published on December 3, 2006 By Xythe In Personal Computing

Ok, Ive been using SuSE for a couple of years now, and it shares a drive with my XP installation. Ever since I installed SuSE, I've allowed the GRUB bootloader to handle which OS to boot into.

I'm thinking to load SuSE 10.1 onto my notebook, and I'm thinking I might find a better, 3rd party bootloader. I'm going to be honest, I can run SuSE under the KDE front-end fairly well; thats to say I can surf, burn and what have you. However, I'm hardly proficient with Linux, and have some difficulty at times know which softwares I want to use. Typically I search the various forums and talk to folks here and there for their advice. Well, now I'm here for your advice:

What is a good 3rd party bootloader? What bootloader do you use, and why?

What bootloader do you recommend me trying to dual-boot Win XP and SuSE Linux on my Compaq Presario notebook?

TIA guys

I just doubt Oracle could take down the biggest linux outfit out here.

Well to be honest with you, RedHat is tiny as compared to Oracle. Anyhow, time will tell.
