Windows NT bootloader question


I finally did it. I got all 3 OS's (Win ME XP and RH 8) to finally install on the same HD. How would I go about using the NT bootloader to recognize linux and making it an option on startup? I just heard GRUB and LILO was not good when using an NT type OS. Any help is appreciated and thanks for any help.

Specs:

Gigabyte GA-7DXE mobo
XP Athlon 2000
Onboard Sound
256MB Ram PC2100
56x CD ROM
Sapphire ATI 9000 Pro 128 MB DDR RAM
Siemens Speedstream 10/100 NIC card
80 gig Western Digital HD
25 gig primary partition for win xp C:
25 gig extended partition for win me D:
26 gig partitioned for Red Hat 8.0
