Ease of use - LILO is a very good LInux LOader, it is not a very good boot
manager, as shown by the fact that Mandrake does not recommend using LILO as a
boot manager in a multi-os setup. Adding and removing OS's is a labor-intensive
operation that is very error-prone. They recommend a commercial boot manager
such as BootMagic.
