(And my machine which dual boots '95 and FreeBSD). I don't happen to use Linux, so I don't happen to use LILO. No politics there. Also, both BootEasy and OS-BS (stable and beta versions) come on the FreeBSD CD's, so I'd reccommend those to a FreeBSD user just because they are easy to get to (no 'net surfin' required) if they have the CD's. FWIW, OS-BS is a completely OS-independent project with no affiliation with FreeBSD, it just happens to be on the CD.
