I prefer grub for a few small reasons - you can make changes on the fly and
try them out without having to remember to run lilo to effect your changes,
and to make the changes permanent you simply edit the menu file- again, as
soon as you save your changes, thats it - nothing else to execute. I have
heard that the newer lilo versions are more graphical and friendlier, but I'm
sticking with grub. I don't think the differences bewteen lilo and grub are
not that great - more just a matter of slight preferences.
