Sounds great. I wish Linux CDs were still available in stores. Um, edit: I wish there were still computer stores. My intro to Linux was mostly through books and magazines that included the OS disc in the back. I remember when I found out there were books about computers that included a free OS in the back cover. Mind -> blown.
LILO (and eLILO for [U]EFI) are most definitely still around! It's the default boot loader for Slackware, and therefore the bootloader on my desktop and personal laptop.
I know it's really useful and all, but I kinda feel like dual booting is often more problematic than it's worth. I think, especially now that computers are pretty well spec'd, if I had to run two OS's (I do not, but if I had to...) I would just use qemu-kvm.
