Now that you have restarted the eternal distro war, Ron, take it all with a 
grain of salt.  I have not seen (and indeed seldom do see) misleading 
information in any of the posts.

Read them all and base your decision on what you want to do and how you want 
to do it.

Btw, one point noone has addressed yet, most of the distros include a module 
to allow dual-booting of two (or more) OSs.  LILO, Grub - they all do the job.
