yes xosl rocks :-), but I guess GRUB and LiLo are easier for newbies to handle, then one can experiment.
First of all, XOSL is not at all new. It has been there for ages, I would say. I've been using it for last 3 years. But now apparently the development of XOSL seems to have been stopped. The last stable release is 1.1.5. This was released quite some time back. And no announcement of new releases......
Secondly, I find XOSL to be much easier to handle than GRUB or LILO. It is only because you've been using them(GRUB / LILO) for quite some time that you find them (GRUB / LILO) easier. Consider remembering all those clauses you have to specify in /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf. Instead, if you could use point - & - click method, it will make your life much easier as a newbie. If fact, XOSL is much safer for newbies as well. You can password - protect your entries.
