You could also use GRUB or XOSL.

If you're installing Linux, you're going to need a boot loader for it anyway. If you get Linux from a major distribution, LILO or GRUB will likely be included. (You might want to avoid LILO due to its dependence on BIOS routines for disk access. I'd definitely recommend using GRUB.)

You can use whatever you use to boot Linux to boot everything else.
