Grub or Lilo better ?
 
which one better ?

yes :D


Actually, I personally like Grub better. I know Lilo is easier, but Grub just looks so much prettier and I've never been bothered to change the look of Lilo

there is no "better" but grub is basically the nu-skool loader. Newer, a little cryptic to configure but does IMHO make more sense than lilo, which i actually only deviated from yesterday. also a lot lot easier to personalise grub. but lilo is very easy to configure and more comfortable to play with i guess. i'd say grub now...

I recommend GRUB...i spent hours trying to get my slackware to dual boot with xp and it wouldn't work. Tried grub for the first time...it works like a charm :)

This question seem to draw the same fire as "which distro", "which editor".
I have used Lilo since I have been using a Linux bootloader (a few years). I like it better than System Commander (as a boot loader) since it does not recheck on every startup. It either works or it does not. I find it simple and easy to use. I did not enjoy my one brush with Grub as I do not know how to use it.
Lilo gets my vote as long as it stays current with hardware etc...
