What do you use for a bootloader?  GRUB or LILO?

FYI, (and you probably already know this) if you change your bootable 
partition to be the M$ partition, and then boot to a recovery disk to do 
a fixmbr and fixboot ... you can revive your Winblows Microshaft 
installation.  At that point it would be a matter of booting to your 
distro install CD and reinstalling your bootloader with the proper options.

With LILO,  I'm confident in the process.  I'm much less confident in my 
GRUB skills.
