Hi everyone,
I agree not to look into multi-boot environments since these actualy do not exist in production environments. They exist exclusively in home or business "user" environments. Instead I find it very important to have a look at GRUB, since it is quite widely used among different distributions and has some big advantages LILO does not offer (like filesystem support for kernel loading) and is therefore better suited for system bootup...

As Tom wrote, in a professional environment (and that's what we are talking about) it will be a very rare exception.
