“Linux is a wonderful operating system that is well known
for being flexible. This flexibility extends to its ability to
support running multiple operating systems on one machine.
This ability is commonly referred to as dual booting. Dual booting
allows an individual to experience the best of both worlds when it
comes to operating system selection. Linux uses a program called
Lilo to provide this flexibility.”
“Lilo provides you with the ability to select from any installed
operating system when you start the computer. This allows new users
to maintain their existing Windows platform, while everyone can
benefit from the ability to simply reboot their system in order to
run their favorite Windows applications. Linux has an incredibly
wide variety of applications, but there are times when you need a
specific application, game, or utility that simply is not available
under Linux at this time, and Lilo makes this very easy.”
