NT and linux are okay, but I had a lot of problems getting NT, 98 and
linux to play nice. Installing all 3 at the same time can be tricky or
easy and so can installing one after installing the other two.

I use Pmagic because of the OS/2 bootloader which is very very nice and
allows each OS to use its fave way of booting up - keeping them
independant of each other makes it way easier to manage.

um...

Applix is supposed to be fairly heavy duty on that front but is pay-for (i
think) - its usually available as demo to try out tho.

Corel Office for linux is available as beta too - don't know what that is
like.
