    Ok, so in my previous setups with multiple boots I have used the Grub Boot Loader that comes with fedora. Does anyone know of anything better than this one? Something where the default boot can be switched easily preferably.

    Ive always used Lilo.

    there is also PowerQuest Boot Magic, but that costs money and is a bit hard to set up...

    that's not possible, unless you have 2 different Windows OS's.

    you could do 2000, XP, Linux

    just not XP, XP, Linux.

    One XP will overwrite the other...
