The selection of a boot manager is a personal choice. I think Ubuntu uses the GRUB boot manager, which many people like. Install FreeBSD last, being careful not to overwrite the MBR of the hard drive. Once FreeBSD has been installed, boot up Ubuntu and modify the GRUB menu configuration file (/boot/grub/menu.lst). I found a sample of a FreeBSD entry here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455951 Best of luck, Andrew Gould
