q re posted multi-boot/partition utilities recs



Hi,
In looking over recs in this ng for such utilities, I noticed that Bert Kinney consistently recommends Bootit NG, which seems to look OK judging solely by its site (so points for effective marketing).


--I want to set up for Windows XP as main OS, Linux (specifically Fedora core 6) next, Vista down the road.
--This install will be completely fresh; i.e., set up on a system (Dell) built with Windows in mind, which came with winXP, wiped clean of all software.
--I don't anticipate mucking with the partitions more than a couple of times down the road, at least as far as the size of those used for the Windows OS's.

I already own Bootmagic/Partition Magic (latest v. before Symantec buyout, 8), the latter having failed me disasterously one time, superbly the other 7 or so times.

Can you folks plz weigh in as to whether marginal benefits of BootIt NG, if any, are worth more money /for my situation/ ?

For that matter, are there any others that come to mind that might offer more than what I already own?

Many thanks for any insight.

Sue
