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
