Provided you put non-MS OSs on partitions formatted for non-MS file
systems (so Win95 doesn't mess with them), and put them after the MS
partitions (so it doesn't get confused by them), OS/2 and Linux work OK
with Boot Manager.  In my experience, Lilo is as good, but others have had
different experiences.
