it has a Windows 95 look and feel. Just make sure to put LILO on your Linux boot partition as it doesn't yet support direct booting of Linux. And before installing any boot manager, always backup your MBR 1st! Here's a page from the manual with links:

LILO is okay and all, but doing a custom install, I noticed other boot
managers can be installed. How do they rate feature-wise with LILO?
Here's the features near and dear to me:
Ease of use (especially adding newly compiled kernel--much easier to compile
than install I found).
Easy to incorporate alternative OSes -- Win2k mainly.
Easy to remove.
I have a feeling boot managers are kind of like that saying: fast, reliable,
secure - pick two.
Thanks,
Nathan
